Based on the forecast data for the import of gold compounds to China from 2024 to 2028, there's a notable declining trend. In 2024, the import volume is expected to be 2.05 thousand kilograms, dropping steadily each year to reach 0.6711 thousand kilograms in 2028. This points to an average annual decline (CAGR) over the five-year period.
For context, in 2023, the actual import volume stood at 2.85 thousand kilograms. Year-on-year comparisons highlight significant drops: 15.7% from 2023 to 2024, 17.6% from 2024 to 2025, and increasingly aggressive declines thereafter, culminating in a sharp 33.6% decrease from 2027 to 2028.
Key future trends to watch include global gold price fluctuations, changes in China's industrial demand for gold compounds, technological advancements reducing gold compound usage, and potential policy shifts impacting import regulations and incentivization. Monitoring these factors will be crucial to understanding and possibly mitigating the import decline.
