In 2023, Japan's import of frozen whole dogfish and other sharks was approximately 11.22 million USD. From 2024 to 2028, a gradual decline in import value is forecasted, starting at 11.072 million USD in 2024 and falling to 10.458 million USD by 2028. This represents an approximate annual decrease of 1.2%. Despite fluctuations year-on-year, the 5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) shows a negative trend, indicating a slow but steady reduction in imports.
Future trends to watch include shifts in consumer preferences toward sustainable seafood, which might further affect import volumes. Additionally, changes in international trade policies and shark conservation efforts could impact the supply chain and availability of these products in the Japanese market.
