The forecast for rubber clothing and accessories imports to Germany indicates a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 216.53 thousand kilograms in 2024, the volume is expected to decrease steadily to 210.34 thousand kilograms by 2028. This represents a year-on-year average decrease of approximately 0.7%. Compared to 2023, where actual data showed 220 thousand kilograms, the decline trend highlights a minor negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the period. These forecasts suggest a slight but consistent reduction in import volume over the next five years.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in consumer preferences towards more sustainable and eco-friendly materials which may decrease demand. Additionally, changes in trade policies, fluctuations in global rubber prices, and advancements in alternative materials could further influence import volumes.
