The forecast for France's import of synthetic rubber suggests a gradual decline in volume from 258.64 million kilograms in 2024 to 248.9 million kilograms in 2028. This indicates a consistent year-on-year decrease, where the 2025 projection shows a slight reduction by 0.95% from the previous year. Similar decreases continue, with a 2026 drop of 0.96%, followed by a 0.95% reduction in both 2027 and 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years points to a steady, overall contraction.

Key trends to watch for include:

Impact of global supply chain disruptions and geopolitical tensions on rubber importation.
Technological advancements and shift towards sustainable alternatives potentially reducing synthetic rubber demand.
Influence of economic factors in France, such as changes in manufacturing sectors reliant on synthetic rubber.
