Back it the days of the cold war, a group of scientists tried to determine what will happen to the world after a thermonuclear war (there was an idea that the ozone layer will be severely damaged during the conflict, causing earth to be inhabitable forever). Their research concluded that the ozone layer will restore to 80% in less that 2 year if the human contamination was reduced to 30% (this reduction of the contamination was an optimist projection of the survival of the human species after a thermonuclear war). We are still decades to create enought contamination to match the efects of a termonuclear war but around the world many of the best scientist are working to reduce the impact of human society to our home planet.

i do not think that the way us as humans live it will allow it to repair.u c everyday we release pollutants into teh air that destroy the ozone layer and ozone is O3 which is a tough combination between the element of oxygen. but mayb if the scientist could work on a way to merge 3 oxygens into O3 and find a way to connect it to part of teh ozone layer than we might jkus have a chance at repairing it

Never in our lifetime, and probably NEVER!!!
But, if I had to take a guess it would be, 5 to 10 million/billion, IFFFFFF, and I stress IF, the sun lasts that long!

A long time. And the sad thing is, it's likely to keep diminishing. Due to our poor habits as humans.
It's only going to get worse :/

It will not repair while humans and our industries exist. It will only repair itself, if we become extinct.
