The import of Acrylonitrile-Butadiene Rubber (NBR) to Italy, excluding latex, is forecasted to decrease slightly from 16.387 million kilograms in 2024 to 16.078 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a gradual decline of approximately 0.63% per year on average. Compared to the actual figures from 2023, which stood at 16.463 million kilograms, the anticipated decline is slightly more pronounced, reflecting a consistent downward trend in demand or competitive pressures.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in global production dynamics, changes in industrial demand within Europe, and environmental regulations affecting synthetic rubber imports. Additionally, technological advancements or alternate material developments could influence the market outlook.
