The import of unvulcanised rubber compounded with carbon black or silica to China is projected to decline steadily from 2024 through 2028. Starting at 78.35 million kilograms in 2024, imports are expected to decrease at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years, indicating a consistent decline in volume. The forecasts suggest reductions in volume each year, pointing to a lessening demand or potential for increased domestic production.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advances in domestic rubber production that may reduce reliance on imports.
Potential changes in trade policies that could influence import patterns.
Environmental regulations impacting the demand for alternative materials.
