The import of Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR/XSBR) to Austria has been showing a steadily increasing trend. In 2023, the import volume stood at 23.163 million kilograms. Over the forecast period from 2024 to 2028, the volume is expected to rise consistently from 23.502 million kilograms in 2024 to 24.828 million kilograms in 2028.
Year-on-year percentage variations illustrate a stable increase in imports:
- 2024: +1.5% from 2023
- 2025: +1.5% from 2024
- 2026: +1.4% from 2025
- 2027: +1.4% from 2026
- 2028: +1.3% from 2027
The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this five-year period stands at approximately 1.4%, indicating a modest but consistent increase in demand for SBR/XSBR imports in Austria.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in the global supply chain, changes in trade policies, and fluctuations in raw material costs that could impact the import volumes of SBR/XSBR. Additionally, advancements in alternative synthetic rubber materials and sustainability initiatives could influence demand dynamics.
