The forecast for Germany's import of reclaimed rubber in primary forms or sheets suggests a steady decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting from 2.9873 million kilograms in 2024, the volume is expected to decrease to 2.0216 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year percentage decline illustrates a consistent downward trend, highlighting a reduction in demand or a shift towards alternative materials. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years reflects a negative average yearly change, indicating a sustained decrease in import volumes compared to 2023 data.

Future trends to watch for include:

The potential impact of sustainable practices and increasing environmental regulations on the demand for reclaimed rubber.
Technological advancements and innovations that could enhance the attractiveness or reduce the costs of alternative materials to reclaimed rubber.
Market developments in the automotive and manufacturing industries, which are primary consumers of reclaimed rubber, as they adapt to the evolving green economy.
