The natural rubber imports in smoked sheets to France are projected to decline from 2024 to 2028, decreasing steadily from 19.165 million kilograms in 2024 to 14.218 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of decline, underlining a trend of reducing dependency on these imports, potentially due to changes in domestic production or shifts in usage patterns. The year-on-year decline from 2024 to 2028 emphasizes a consistent reduction.
Trends to watch for include potential shifts in global rubber production, developments in synthetic alternatives, and environmental policies influencing natural rubber demand. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for future strategies.
