The forecasted import of mixtures of natural and synthetic rubbers to Germany shows a downward trend over the period from 2024 to 2028. Starting from a projected 87.1 thousand kilograms in 2024, imports are expected to decline to 72.4 thousand kilograms by 2028. Compared to the year 2023, which registered 93 thousand kilograms, the trend reveals a consistent year-on-year decline in imports, averaging approximately 4.54% annually over the five years. This trend suggests a decreasing reliance on rubber imports or increased domestic production efficiency.
Future trends to watch for include the global market conditions for rubber, technological advancements in synthetic alternatives, and Germany’s economic policies regarding import substitutions or environmental considerations. Shifts in automotive industry needs or regulations could further influence import demands.
