In 2023, the actual import volume of dirigibles, balloons, and non-powered aircraft to China was slightly below 6.27 thousand kilograms. The forecasts from 2024 to 2028 suggest a steady increase, with the import volume expected to grow from 6.27 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 7.19 thousand kilograms in 2028.

The year-on-year growth rate is anticipated to rise consistently: approximately 3.8% from 2024 to 2025, 3.5% from 2025 to 2026, 3.4% from 2026 to 2027, and 3.2% from 2027 to 2028. This indicates mild but sustained growth in import volumes over the forecast period.

Expect a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 3.5% over the next five years.

Future trends to watch for:

The impact of technological advancements and innovation in non-powered aircraft designs, potentially driving up demand.
Changes in regulatory landscapes that may affect import policies.
Economic factors influencing purchasing power and market conditions.
