In 2023, the UK imported roughly 67,000 retreaded rubber tyres. The forecast for imports shows a declining trend from 2024, with values decreasing progressively each year: from 65,350 in 2024 to 59,280 in 2028. The year-on-year decrease signifies a steady contraction in demand or shifts towards alternatives. Over the five-year period, this shows a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -2.5%, indicating a decreasing trend in import volumes.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements in tyre manufacturing possibly reducing the need for retreading.
Government policies promoting environmental sustainability and potentially influencing retread consumption.
Economic factors affecting consumer spending potentially impacting the demand for cost-effective retreaded tyres.
