The import of frozen whole trout to Japan is expected to exhibit a downward trend from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, the forecasted import value is $44.76 million, decreasing to $13.011 million by 2028. This represents a significant year-on-year percentage decrease. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period indicates a substantial decline in imports and suggests a trend of reducing demand or availability. As of 2023, the imports were higher, but precise data is not provided for that year.
Future trends to watch for include changes in domestic production capacities, shifts in consumer preferences towards local or sustainable seafood options, and potential trade policy adjustments or economic factors affecting Japan's import volumes. Additionally, environmental changes impacting trout supply globally or locally could play a significant role in shaping future imports.
