The domestic consumption of shelled walnuts in Japan is forecasted to increase from 43.21 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 44.36 thousand metric tons in 2028. This gradual rise indicates a steady demand growth rate over the five-year period. Specifically, the year-on-year variation shows minor yet consistent increases—0.67% from 2024 to 2025, 0.67% from 2025 to 2026, 0.66% from 2026 to 2027, and 0.64% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years stands at approximately 0.66%.
Future trends to watch for include possible shifts in consumer preferences towards healthier snacks and the impact of marketing campaigns promoting the health benefits of walnuts. External factors such as trade policies, global walnut production fluctuations, and currency exchange rates could also influence domestic walnut consumption patterns in Japan.
