The forecast for the import of refined maize oil to China shows a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. The annual decrease in import volume is clearly observable, indicating a significant downtrend. Comparatively, imports in 2024 are expected to stand at 279.63 thousand kilograms, declining annually to 110.92 thousand kilograms by 2028. Year-on-year variations depict a steady drop in demand, with the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) highlighting an average reduction per year over this five-year period. This trend illustrates China's shift possibly towards alternative domestic sources or changes in consumption patterns.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential government policies influencing the import of maize oil and its substitutes.
Changes in consumer preferences or dietary needs impacting maize oil demand.
Impact of technological advances in refining domestic maize oil or alternatives.
