The crustaceans market size volume in Japan is projected to decrease from 746.82 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 728.58 thousand metric tons by 2028. This indicates a steady decline over the forecast period, with year-on-year reductions ranging between 0.61% and 0.75%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR), representing the average yearly decline, is approximately -0.63% over these five years. As of 2023, the actual volume was slightly higher, initiating this downward trend.
Looking ahead, key trends to watch include the potential impact of consumer preferences shifting towards sustainable seafood alternatives, regulatory changes affecting imports, and advancements in aquaculture technologies that might stabilize or reverse the declining volume trend.
