The forecasted import of Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR/XSBR) to France shows a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028, with volumes decreasing from 87.674 million kilograms in 2024 to 86.893 million kilograms by 2028. This trend suggests a slight year-on-year decrease, averaging around 0.2% reduction per year. In comparison, the actual import volume for 2023 stood slightly above 2024's forecasted figure, delineating the start of this downward trend.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential impacts from changes in automotive and manufacturing sectors, which heavily use SBR.
Shifts in trade policies or economic conditions affecting France's import dynamics.
Technological advancements in rubber alternatives that could influence SBR imports.
