In 2023, the import value of crude emery and natural abrasives in irregular pieces to Japan was held steady. The forecast for the next five years shows a consistent, albeit slight, upward trend from 2024 to 2028, with values increasing incrementally each year.
Year-on-year analysis indicates a minimal increase in import value annually, with the year 2025 experiencing a small rise as compared to 2024, continuing into 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year forecast interval shows a modest growth per annum.
Future trends to watch for:
- Fluctuations in global demand for emery and natural abrasives due to industrial needs.
- Changes in trade policies and tariffs that may impact import costs.
- Technological advancements that might replace these materials with synthetic or alternative options.
