In 2023, China's import of starches, excluding wheat, maize, potato, and manioc, stood at approximately 9.74 million kilograms. The forecasted import volumes from 2024 to 2028 exhibit a gradual decline, decreasing steadily each year from 9.6994 million kilograms in 2024 to 9.5423 million kilograms in 2028. The year-on-year percentage variation shows a consistent downward trend, with an average decline depicted by a negative CAGR over this five-year forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in China's agricultural policy, domestic production capabilities, and international trade agreements, which could influence the country's dependency on starch imports. Additionally, changes in global starch demand, spurred by evolving consumer preferences or environmental factors, could impact import levels.
