The forecast for China’s paraffin wax imports indicates a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at $16.077 million in 2024 and decreasing to $15.744 million by 2028. In 2023, imports stood at a slightly higher level, indicating a downward trend in the upcoming years.

The year-on-year variation from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady decline, reflecting a consistent reduction in import values: 2025 sees a slight decrease, followed by a moderate decline in 2026, and it continues progressively through 2028. The Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this forecast period reflects a subtle average decline.

Future trends to watch for include:

China’s domestic production capabilities for paraffin wax, which could further impact import needs.
Shifts in global supply chain dynamics and trade policies, possibly altering import patterns.
Technological advances in alternative materials impacting paraffin wax demand.
