The forecast for the import of polyethylene with a specific gravity of 0.94 or more to China shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, with values estimated to rise from 8.31 billion kilograms to 9.43 billion kilograms. This indicates a consistent year-on-year growth rate of approximately 3.5% over these years. Looking back at 2023, imports stood at around 8 billion kilograms.

Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in global supply chains affecting imports.
- China's domestic production capabilities and policy changes.
