In 2023, France imported substantial quantities of natural rubber latex, but forecasts indicate a declining trend over the next five years. From 2024 to 2028, imports are projected to decrease steadily from 2.4856 million kilograms to 1.3767 million kilograms. This reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -11.3%, signaling significant contraction in import volumes.
The forecasts exhibit a consistent year-on-year decrease, suggesting various factors potentially impacting demand or supply dynamics, such as shifts in domestic production, substitution with synthetic rubbers, or changes in industrial requirements.
Future trends to watch include the impact of technological advancements or regulatory changes on the rubber industry, France's economic conditions influencing industrial output, and global supply chain developments affecting availability and prices of natural rubber latex.
