The import of foliage, excluding flowers for ornamental purposes to India, is projected to increase from $707.05 thousand in 2024 to $731.58 thousand by 2028. The year-on-year growth rates are relatively stable, averaging around 1% annually. In 2023, imports were about $700 thousand. This steady increase in import value suggests a continued demand in the domestic market for ornamental foliage.
Looking ahead, key trends to monitor include changes in domestic production capabilities, which could impact import reliance, and shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable and locally-sourced products. Additionally, trade policies and international market dynamics may influence future import trends.
