The import of table and kitchenware made of low expansion glass to China is projected to grow steadily from 2024 to 2028, increasing from 7.57 million kilograms in 2024 to 8.36 million kilograms in 2028. This represents an approximate year-on-year growth rate of 2.7% between 2024 and 2025, 2.6% between 2025 and 2026, 2.5% between 2026 and 2027, and 2.4% between 2027 and 2028.
In 2023, the exact import volume is not specified, but given the consistent upward trend, the imports were likely slightly below the 2024 forecast, showing continuous expansion. Over the five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is projected to be around 2.6%.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of China’s domestic production capabilities on import volumes, particularly if local manufacturers increase production of similar products.
- Changing consumer preferences towards sustainable materials, potentially affecting the demand for low expansion glass products.
- Trade policy developments and international relations that might influence import tariffs or restrictions.
