In 2023, the re-import of compressors for refrigerating equipment to China stood at 15.7 million kilograms. Forecasts for 2024 predict a volume of 16.08 million kilograms, marking a year-on-year increase of approximately 2.4%. Over the next five years, the compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) is projected to be around 2.5%, with the volume reaching 17.653 million kilograms by 2028.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technology advancements could optimize compressor efficiency, potentially influencing import volumes.
Environmental regulations might affect the demand for certain types of refrigerating equipment, impacting import needs.
Economic shifts in China could alter manufacturing decisions, affecting the balance of local production versus imports.
