The projected import volumes of fresh or chilled garlic to China indicate a steady growth from 2024 to 2028, starting at 240.54 thousand kilograms in 2024 and reaching 291.48 thousand kilograms by 2028. In comparison to 2023, where imports were at 230 thousand kilograms, this forecasts a robust increase signifying a sustained demand for imported garlic.
The year-on-year growth rates demonstrate a consistent upward trend, highlighting a positive shift in import dynamics. This positive trajectory is reinforced by the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Shifts in domestic garlic production affecting import needs.
- Changes in dietary trends and culinary preferences in China.
- Potential impacts of trade policies and regional agreements on garlic imports.
- New competitors entering the garlic import market.
