In 2023, Japan's import of glucose syrup with less than 20% fructose stood at an unspecified value. Forecasts for the years 2024 to 2028 show a gradual increase from 10.782 million kilograms in 2024 to 11.28 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year growth from 2024 to 2025 is 1.19%, from 2025 to 2026 is 1.15%, from 2026 to 2027 is 1.11%, and from 2027 to 2028 is 1.08%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five forecasted years is approximately 1.14%.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in global glucose syrup demand due to health trends favoring lower-sugar products, changes in trade policies, and domestic production capabilities impacting Japan's import needs.
