In 2023, China imported an undisclosed volume of almonds in shell. From this base, forecasts predict a steady increase in imports from 18.127 million kilograms in 2024 to 21.516 million kilograms by 2028.

The year-on-year growth rate is expected to maintain a progressive upward trend, with considerable consistency in increases each year. The compound annual growth rate over the five-year period is indicative of China's growing demand and consumption patterns related to almonds.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential changes in global almond supply impacting import volumes.
Consumer demand fluctuations potentially driven by health trends.
Trade policies affecting import dynamics between China and major almond exporting countries.
