In 2023, the import of live pure-bred breeding bovine animals to China stood at a baseline. The forecast indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with values decreasing annually from 39.92 to 30.14 thousand. This represents annual decreases in imports as follows: 6.3% in 2025, 6.6% in 2026, 6.9% in 2027, and 7.3% in 2028. The CAGR over this five-year forecast period is a negative 6.84%, indicating a steady decline in demand or reliance on local breeding stock or policy changes.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in China's agricultural policies that might impact import needs.
Adoption of local breeding programs that could reduce dependency on imports.
Impact of global trade dynamics on import volumes and costs.
