The forecast for the re-import of polymers of styrene, excluding SAN or ABS, to China from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent downward trend. Starting at 1.5333 million kilograms in 2024, the volume decreases by approximately 4% annually, reaching 1.2932 million kilograms in 2028. Compared to the actual data up to 2023, this represents a steady decline from the existing baseline. The compounded average growth rate (CAGR) over the forecasted period suggests an average annual reduction in volume.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in global supply chain dynamics affecting raw material availability.
China's domestic production capabilities which may alter import needs.
Changes in environmental regulations impacting production and re-importation policies.
Advancements in recycling technologies reducing the dependency on polymer imports.
