In 2023, the import of not carded or combed staple fibres of viscose rayon to China stood at approximately 128 million kilograms. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent upward trend in import volumes, growing from 130.33 million kilograms in 2024 to 140.49 million kilograms in 2028. The year-on-year growth rates are relatively stable, showing a steady increase by a small percentage each year. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) for the five-year period is modest, reflecting a gradual demand growth in the market for these fibres.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in global production capacities, which could impact supply and pricing.
- Changes in China's domestic textile and apparel industry demand, potentially influencing import needs.
- Environmental policies affecting the production and processing of viscose rayon fibers globally.
