The import of statuettes and other ornaments, unplated of base metal, to Japan is projected to decline from 2024 to 2028, decreasing from 989.84 to 819.69 thousand kilograms. This represents a steady year-on-year decline, echoing the shifts seen in prior years, although exact figures from 2023 are not provided for precise percentage calculation. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a consistent downward trend, with an average annual decrease expected over the five years.

Future trends to monitor:

The impact of Japan's changing consumer preferences towards sustainable and eco-friendly materials.
The influence of global economic conditions on import volumes.
Potential trade policy shifts that could affect cost and availability.
