By 2023, China had already seen significant levels of methionine re-imports, although the data for that year is not provided. From 2024 to 2028, forecasts indicate a steady year-on-year growth, with figures gradually rising from 11.6 to 13.92 thousand kilograms. Each year reflects a consistent increase of around 5%, suggesting a growing demand and reliance on methionine imports. This trend reflects a five-year CAGR of approximately 4.6%, indicating stability and a positive growth trajectory in methionine re-imports post-2024.
Future trends to monitor include potential shifts in China's domestic methionine production capabilities, potential policy changes affecting import regulations, and global supply chain developments impacting methionine availability. Additionally, any advancements in alternative protein sources or shifts in the agriculture sector could influence future demand trajectories for methionine.
