In 2023, Brazil imported 790.0 thousand kilograms of footwear outer soles and heels of rubber or plastic. From 2024, the forecast reveals a consistent downward trend, with imports decreasing from 765.1 to 661.19 thousand kilograms by 2028. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -3.5% over this period. Year-on-year, there are declines of 3.5% from 2024 to 2025 and 3.6% from 2025 to 2026, illustrating a steady reduction in import volumes.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts from economic factors such as domestic production capabilities, trade regulations, and shifts in consumer preferences towards local or alternative materials, which could further drive down import demands.
