The forecast for the import of nickel mattes to China from 2024 to 2028 shows a declining trend, starting at 19.105 million kilograms in 2024 and decreasing to 17.558 million kilograms by 2028. From the actual data in 2023, this represents a continued decrease in imports. The year-on-year percentage variation indicates a steady decline in imports, with slight annual drops in volume. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period points to a gentle downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in global nickel production, evolving trade policies affecting supply chains, and technological advances in alternative materials, which could influence the demand for nickel mattes in China. Monitoring China's industrial strategy changes, especially in sectors reliant on nickel, is also crucial.
