In 2023, China's import of filament tow of polyesters stood at approximately 1.55 million kilograms. The forecasted data reveals a gradual decline in imports from 2024 through 2028, decreasing from 1.5138 to 1.3684 million kilograms. This consistent downward trend indicates a year-on-year decrease in the volume imported. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) averages a negative percentage, reflecting diminishing demand or increased domestic production capabilities.
Future trends to watch for include China's potential to enhance its local manufacturing capabilities, which could reduce import dependency further. Additionally, fluctuations in global polyester prices or changes in trade policies may impact the trajectory of these imports.
