The import of alkali, alkaline-earth metals, rare earths, and mercury to China shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with a forecasted decrease in value each year. The year-on-year variations indicate a consistent downward momentum, reflecting a slowing demand or an increase in domestic production, potentially as China moves towards self-reliance in these essential materials. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) continues this pattern of decline.
Future trends to watch for include China's policy changes in resource sustainability, technological advancements in material extraction, and global market shifts that could impact the supply chain and pricing of these materials.
