The re-import of pipes or tubes of copper-zinc base alloy to China is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028, dropping from $757.15 thousand in 2024 to $588.94 thousand in 2028. In 2023, these imports stood at $800 thousand. This indicates a shrinking demand, with a year-on-year decrease of approximately 5.7% leading to a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of about -6.5% over the five-year period starting in 2024.
Future trends to watch include global copper-zinc alloy price fluctuations, changes in China's domestic production capabilities, potential trade policy adjustments, and shifts in demand from key sectors such as construction and machinery. These factors could significantly impact the re-import levels and pricing strategies.
