From 2024 to 2025, there's an estimated decrease of 3.4%, and the trend continues similarly each year, accumulating to a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -3.6%. In 2023, the actual import stood at a competitive level, slightly higher than 2024's forecast, suggesting a continual downward trend right after.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in tire technology, shifts in domestic manufacturing capabilities, and potential tariffs or trade agreements that may impact import volumes further.
