In 2023, China imported a certain volume of sheet or tile, asbestos, and cellulose fiber cement (not corrugated). By 2024, an initial forecast of 974.31 thousand kilograms is projected, marking a starting point for future trend analysis. Steady decreases are forecasted annually, with 842.18 thousand kilograms in 2026, dropping to 715.28 by 2028. Year-on-year variations indicate a consistent declining trend due to potential factors like domestic production increases or shifts in construction practices. The compound annual growth rate over the 2024-2028 period also reflects a negative trend, highlighting ongoing declining imports.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of environmental regulations on asbestos imports, technological advancements in fiber cement production, and shifts in construction material preferences. Monitoring changes in global trade policies and their direct effects on import volumes will be essential for future forecasts.
