In 2023, actual imports of frozen rock lobster and other sea crawfish to China were recorded at 105.5 million USD. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent growth trajectory with values rising from 121.33 million USD in 2024 to 181.23 million USD by 2028. This reflects significant year-on-year growth rates of approximately 12.5% in 2025, 11% in 2026, 9.8% in 2027, and 8.8% in 2028. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 will be around 10.3%, demonstrating a strong upward trend expected for these imports.
Future trends to watch for include potential fluctuations due to changes in global seafood demand, trade policies, and impacts from sustainable fishing regulations. Additionally, the economic conditions and consumer preferences in China may also affect the demand for premium seafood imports.
