In 2023, the import of Styrene-Acrylonitrile (SAN) Copolymers to China stood at approximately 299.84 million kilograms. The forecast for 2024 indicates a volume increase to 307.27 million kilograms, followed by a steady year-on-year growth, with imports reaching 337.04 million kilograms by 2028. This reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 2.76% over the five-year period.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts in global supply chain dynamics, which might affect import levels.
Technological advancements in domestic polymer production that could impact import dependence.
China's environmental policies and regulations influencing polymer consumption patterns.
Market demand changes driven by sectoral growth, particularly in the automotive and electronics industries where SAN copolymers are widely used.
