In 2023, the import value of printed maps, charts, and atlases to China stood at an unspecified value. By 2024, this number is forecasted to be 1.9059 million USD, marking the beginning of a projected downward trend through 2028, where it is expected to reach 1.5735 million USD.
Observing year-on-year percentage changes from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent decline. Specifically, from 2024 to 2025, there's a 4.5% decrease, followed by a steady reduction, culminating in an approximate 3.7% decline from 2025 to 2026, and similar trends thereafter.
Future trends to watch for:
- Digital transformation impacting physical map usage.
- Potential economic shifts altering import dynamics.
- Environmental policies possibly favoring digital over printed resources.
