The forecast for the re-import of cold-rolled stainless steel (width ≥ 600 mm, thickness > 4.75 mm) to China shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the recorded actual value was below the 2024 forecast of 420.73 thousand USD. Notably, from 2024 to 2025, a year-on-year growth rate of approximately 4.6% is observed, with subsequent annual increases hovering around 4.3% to 4.5%. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a consistent upward momentum.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of global supply chain dynamics on re-importation volumes and pricing structures. Additionally, developments in China's domestic production capabilities and shifts in international trade policies could significantly influence market conditions.
