Between 2023 and 2028, China's import of silver semi-manufactured goods, including gold or platinum, is projected to decline significantly from an estimated 304.16 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 79.05 thousand kilograms in 2028. While the exact quantity for 2023 isn't specified, the sharp reduction over the forecast period indicates considerable contraction. This reflects an average annual decline (CAGR) across the years. The most notable year-on-year decreases occur between 2024 and 2028, suggesting changing market dynamics or shifts in demand and supply.
Future trends to watch for:
- Evolving industrial demand and technology, potentially driving changes in the usage of silver and its compounds.
- Shifts in pricing dynamics influenced by global economic and geopolitical factors.
- Factors like alternative materials or innovations influencing import needs.
