The forecast for the import of tableware and kitchenware of porcelain or china to Ethiopia shows a steady decline from 2024 through 2028, decreasing each year by approximately 2% in volume terms from 1.6676 million kilograms in 2024 to 1.5389 million kilograms in 2028. This trend indicates an average annual decline, or negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR), reflecting a gradual reduction in imports of these goods over the period. Notably, the volume for 2023 stood higher than the forecasted figures, suggesting a substantial shift in import dynamics.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in consumer preferences towards more sustainable or locally produced tableware and kitchenware, which might further influence import volumes. Additionally, economic policies, trade agreements, or domestic production capacities could alter the current declining trend in the coming years.
