The import forecast for rubber waste, parings, and scrap to Japan indicates steady growth from 2024 to 2028, increasing from 122.41 million kilograms to 136.97 million kilograms. With the 2023 value unavailable, recent growth cannot be directly compared, but the projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests consistent year-on-year growth.
Year-on-year variations include:
- 2024 to 2025: 3.1%
- 2025 to 2026: 2.9%
- 2026 to 2027: 2.8%
- 2027 to 2028: 2.6%
The five-year CAGR demonstrates stability and potential resilience in import demand, potentially driven by industrial recycling needs and environmental initiatives.
Future trends to observe include Japan's regulatory changes affecting waste management, technological advancements in rubber recycling, and shifts in global rubber market supply chains. Such factors could influence rubber waste import volumes and strategies.
