In 2023, the import volume of gaskets, washers, and other seals of vulcanised rubber to Brazil stood at 5.4 million kilograms. Forecasts indicate a stabilizing annual decline from 2024 to 2028, shifting from 5.376 million kilograms in 2024 to 5.3007 million kilograms by 2028. Year-on-year changes reflect minor decreases: -0.36% from 2024 to 2025, -0.35% from 2026 to 2027, and -0.34% from 2027 to 2028. Over the five-year forecast, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is about -0.36%.

Future trends to watch include:

Potential shifts in global rubber supply chains impacting availability and cost.
Technological advancements in alternative sealing materials which might reduce reliance on vulcanised rubber.
Policy changes or trade agreements that might affect import conditions to Brazil.
