In 2023, the re-import of carbides to China stood at an unspecified value; however, forecasts from 2024 through 2028 show a consistent decline. Starting with 1.53 thousand kilograms in 2024, it decreases by 9.8% to 1.38 in 2025, followed by an 11.6% drop to 1.22 in 2026. It further declines by 12.3% to 1.07 in 2027, and a decrease of 13.9% to 0.921 in 2028. The five-year CAGR indicates a gradual decline in re-imports, reflecting possible challenges in market demand or shifts in global supply chains.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential stabilization or increase in demand due to economic recovery or technological advancements.
Changes in international trade policies affecting carbide imports.
Development of domestic production capabilities in China reducing dependency on re-importation.
