The import of unvulcanized rubber compounded with carbon black or silica to Japan shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 4.7633 million kilograms in 2024 and dropping to 2.9364 million kilograms in 2028. This suggests a steady decrease in imports year-on-year. In 2023, the actual import volume was slightly higher than in 2024. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a negative trend, indicating a continuous reduction in imports each year.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in global supply chains, advancements in rubber compounding technology, and changes in domestic production capabilities within Japan. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for better forecasting and strategic planning regarding import volumes.
