The import of Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR/XSBR) to Italy is projected to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028, reaching 74.032 million kilograms in 2028, down from 77.012 million kilograms in 2024. In comparison, the 2023 figure was slightly higher. The year-on-year decrease averages approximately 1% over these five years, highlighting a consistent but modest downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include potential impact from the automotive and industrial sectors which heavily utilize SBR, shifts in global supply chain dynamics, and advancements in alternative materials which could influence demand. Environmental regulations may also shape import volumes. Additionally, economic conditions and manufacturing shifts in Italy and its trade partners could further modulate these forecasts.
