In 2023, Brazil's import of waste of synthetic fibres stood at an unspecified baseline, against which future trends can be benchmarked. From 2024 onwards, a steady decline is evident, with forecasted values dropping annually until 2028. The year-on-year decline from 2024 to 2025 is about 0.38%, continuing similarly through 2028. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a gradual decrease in imports, reflecting a systematic downturn in demand or potential shifts in domestic recycling capabilities or regulations.
Future trends to monitor include:
- Global policy changes regarding waste management and synthetic fibre recycling, which could drive further declines or sudden increases in imports.
- Technological advancements in recycling that might influence domestic production capabilities.
- Fluctuations in global and local market demands for recycled materials.
