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.
