The import of lead plates, sheets, and strips to China is projected to experience steady growth from 2024 through 2028. In 2023, the actual import value was below 3.8008 million USD, setting the base for the forecasted increases. From 2024 onward, the year-on-year growth is expected to be consistent, with an annual compound growth rate (CAGR) approximating 3.3% over the five years to 2028. This trend indicates a gradual but consistent increase in import volumes.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential fluctuations in global lead prices that may impact import values.
Domestic production trends or policy changes that could alter dependency on imports.
Technological advancements influencing demand for lead-based products.
Environmental regulations affecting the lead industry's supply chain dynamics.
