The import of camel-back strips for retreading rubber tyres is set to decline in China. In 2023, imports stood higher than forecasted years. From 2024 to 2028, a consistent downward trend is projected, with imports dropping from 257.77 to 186.26 thousand kilograms. This represents a noticeable year-on-year decrease, reflecting diminishing demand or increased domestic production capabilities.
Looking ahead, China's push towards sustainability and self-sufficiency may lead to further declines. Future trends to watch include technological advancements in domestic retreading processes, fluctuating raw material costs, and shifts in domestic transportation patterns that could affect import needs.
