The re-import of plastic fittings for furniture and coachwork to China displays a clear downward trend from 2024 to 2028, with volumes decreasing from 7.77 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 1.07 thousand kilograms in 2028. The projected year-on-year variations reflect significant declines: 22.3% for 2025, 28% for 2026, 38.2% for 2027, and 60.2% for 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years indicates a steep average annual decrease, forecasting ongoing contraction in this trade segment.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential recovery or alternative markets if economic conditions improve globally.
- Effects of increased local manufacturing capacities as industries prioritize sustainability and near-sourcing.
- Impact of technological advancements that could reduce dependence on imported plastic materials.
