The import of rods and profile shapes of vulcanised non-cellular rubber to France is projected to show a consistent decline from 2024 through 2028, starting at 5.0711 million kilograms in 2024, down to 4.7848 million kilograms by 2028. This data suggests a weakening demand or potential changes in supply chain dynamics. Compared to 2023, a downward trend is evident with a year-on-year decrease averaging about 1.5%.
Future trends to watch for:
- Global trade policies affecting rubber imports, particularly any changes related to European Union regulations.
- Technological advancements in materials that could replace vulcanised rubber.
- Shifts in automotive and industrial sectors which are heavy consumers of rubber.
