In 2023, the import of copper-nickel or copper-nickel-zinc base alloy wire to China stood at a certain level from which a downward trend is projected. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts indicate a steady decline in imports, decreasing from 260.22 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 192.34 thousand kilograms in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 6.7%, following a clear downward trajectory year after year.
Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a negative growth, signaling a consistent drop in the volume of imports. The long-term trend suggests a shrinking demand for these alloy wires in China.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of domestic production increases on import levels.
- Technological advancements that may reduce the need for such imports.
- Fluctuations in global commodity prices affecting demand and supply chains.
- Regulatory changes in environmental policies that might influence material usage.
