In 2024, imports are projected at 31.011 million items, increasing to 33.78 million items in 2028. Compared to 2023, when imports were at a certain amount, this represents a consistent upward trend over the forecast period.
The year-on-year growth rates are approximately 2.3% from 2024 to 2025, 2.2% from 2025 to 2026, 2.1% from 2026 to 2027, and 2% from 2027 to 2028.

Future trends to watch for include potential changes in consumer preferences towards sustainable and eco-friendly products, which could impact the types of materials used in making drinking glasses. Additionally, any fluctuations in international trade policies or tariffs could also influence import patterns and volumes.
