In 2023, the import of slag wool, rock wool, and similar mineral wools to China stood at 12.584 million kilograms. The forecasted data indicate a steady but minimal increase in imports, with projected volumes rising to 12.646 million kilograms by 2028. Year-on-year variations reveal an incremental upward trend, averaging a 0.32% increase each year from 2024 to 2028. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period suggests stable, gradual growth.
Future trends to watch for include China's potential policy shifts towards environmentally sustainable building materials and any changes in construction sector demand that might influence imports of mineral wools. Monitoring global supply chain dynamics also remains essential, as they could impact availability and pricing of these materials.
