The forecast for the re-import of refined copper bar, rod, and profiles to China from 2024 to 2028 shows a sharp decline. In 2023, the re-import value stood significantly higher compared to the forecasted data for 2024, which is $202.68 thousand. A consistent decrease is projected with a year-on-year percentage decline as follows: 2025 by 23.34%, 2026 by 29.88%, 2027 by 41.75%, and a substantial drop to 2028 by 70.15%. The overall compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 indicates a substantial negative trend.

Future trends to watch for include shifts in supply chain dynamics, China’s domestic production capabilities, global copper demand fluctuations, and potential regulatory changes affecting trade. These factors could significantly impact future re-import trends for refined copper products.
