The forecast for the import of tubes, pipes, and hoses of vulcanised rubber (excluding hard rubber) to France indicates a steady decrease from 2024 to 2028, with quantities reducing from 45.398 million kilograms to 45.264 million kilograms. In 2023, the actual import volume was slightly higher, reflecting the beginning of a downward trend.
Year-on-year analysis highlights a marginal decrease, around 0.07% per annum, from 2024 onwards. Over a five-year period, the average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) shows a consistent, albeit minor, negative growth trajectory due to economic and industry-specific factors.
Future trends to watch include potential changes in the automotive and construction sectors, which are primary users of these products, as well as regulatory shifts and innovations in sustainable materials that may affect demand for traditional rubber-based products.
