In 2023, the import of cuttings and slips not rooted to India stood at 50.0 thousand kilograms. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts predict a steady increase in imports, with a cumulative growth rate indicating a consistent upward trend. Year-on-year variations show a moderate rise, with an average annual growth rate of 3.3%, reflecting stable market demand and possibly expanding cultivation activities in India.

Future trends to watch for:

Increased domestic production capabilities could potentially moderate import volumes.
Changes in agricultural policies and subsidies might influence import needs and patterns.
Technological advancements in hydroponics and aeroponics may boost domestic production efficiency, impacting import dependency.
