The forecast indicates a steady decrease in the re-import of hand sharpening or polishing stones to China, from 1.95 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 1.46 thousand kilograms by 2028. The current volume in 2024 marks a decline compared to figures prior to 2024, emphasizing a consistent downward trend. The year-on-year percentage decrease is evident, particularly highlighting a significant reduction over the last two years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) underscores an average annual decline over the five-year horizon.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in local manufacturing capabilities or technology enhancements that could influence demand. Additionally, any geopolitical developments or changes in trade policies may impact international trade dynamics affecting these import patterns.
