The import of non-expansible polystyrene to China is forecasted to grow steadily between 2024 and 2028. The data indicate a consistent year-on-year incremental increase ranging from approximately 0.4% to 0.5%. Based on these forecasts, the total import volume stood at slightly less than 994.8 million kilograms in 2023. Over this five-year period, the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is about 0.4%, reflecting a modest but stable increase annually.
Future trends to watch for include potential government policies affecting import regulations, developments in recycling technologies which may impact demand, and broader economic factors influencing manufacturing outputs and consumption levels. Additionally, global market dynamics for polystyrene could affect pricing and availability.
