In 2023, Japan imported approximately 32.2 million kilograms of frozen strawberries. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady increase, with an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 0.93%. The year-on-year growth rate is approximately 1% from 2024 to 2025, slightly decreasing towards 2028. This indicates a consistent, gradual rise in import volumes as demand likely stabilizes, with no significant volatility in the medium term.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impacts of trade policies or tariffs on import volumes.
- Shifts in consumer preferences towards organic or domestic alternatives, which could affect demand.
- Global supply chain dynamics affecting pricing and availability.
