The forecast for re-import of flat plate, sheet, strip of copper-zinc alloy into China indicates a significant decline over the coming years, starting from 255.78 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 57.08 thousand kilograms by 2028. This suggests a marked reduction in dependent demand or shifts in domestic production capabilities. Given these figures, the year-on-year decrease from 2024 to 2028 highlights an expected ongoing downturn.
