In 2023, the re-import of new pneumatic tyres of rubber for aircraft to the UK stood at 637.5 kg. The forecast for the upcoming years shows a declining trend. From 2024 to 2028, the import quantity is projected to reduce from 610.45 kg to 508.81 kg. Year-on-year variations suggest a consistent decrease, with a notable average annual reduction of 4.4% over this period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) further highlights the steady decline in import volumes.

Future trends to watch for:

Advancements in aircraft technology potentially reducing the need for frequent tyre replacements.
Shifts in global supply chains that might affect import sourcing or incentives post-Brexit.
Environmental policies impacting the production and disposal of synthetic rubber tyres.
