The forecast for China's maize oil import volume shows a gradual increase from 8.1 thousand metric tons in 2024 and 2025 to 8.2 thousand metric tons from 2026 to 2028. This represents a stable trend with minimal year-on-year variation. In 2023, the import volume was approximately the same as forecasted for 2024, indicating a consistent market demand and supply. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period remains low, suggesting modest growth expectations.
Future trends to watch include potential demand spikes driven by changes in dietary preferences or health trends, trade policy shifts, and domestic production fluctuations, which could impact import needs and market dynamics.
