In 2023, the re-import of live animals (excluding farm animals) to China was positioned at a certain baseline value. From 2024 to 2028, there is a steady increase in forecasted imports, indicating a positive trend. The year-on-year increase shows a consistent growth rate: approximately 3.4% from 2024 to 2025, 3.2% from 2025 to 2026, 3.1% from 2026 to 2027, and 2.9% from 2027 to 2028. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for this five-year period is anticipated to be around 3.1%, reflecting a stable expansion trajectory.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential policy changes impacting animal trade.
Shifts in demand driven by China's economic adjustments or environmental considerations.
Advancements in transportation and veterinary sciences that may enhance the feasibility of re-importation.
