In 2023, the import of uncoated sensitising base paper to China stood at approximately 9.3 million kilograms. The annual imports are expected to grow progressively from 2024 to 2028, starting at 9.4415 million kilograms in 2024 and reaching 10.022 million kilograms by 2028. This indicates a positive growth trend with year-on-year percentage increases reflecting a stable upward trajectory. Over this five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a modest, yet consistent expansion in import volumes.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of evolving domestic production capabilities, changes in international trade policies, and fluctuations in demand from the digital and print media industries. These factors could either bolster or hinder the forecasted growth in imports of uncoated sensitising base paper to China.
