In 2023, the re-import of acetic acid salts to China stood at approximately 8.73 thousand kilograms. From 2024 onwards, a consistent year-on-year decline is forecasted, reflecting a decrease of 16.8% in 2024, 16.3% in 2025, 22.6% in 2026, and 29.5% by 2027. By 2028, imports are expected to have declined by 29.1% from the previous year. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for the period from 2023 to 2028 is a negative 20.6%, indicating a significant downward trend.
Looking ahead, it is essential to monitor factors such as changes in domestic production capabilities, shifts in trade policies, and global demand fluctuations for acetic acid salts, as these could impact import levels and alter current forecasts.
