In 2023, Japan's imports of prepared or preserved non-canned shrimps and prawns stood at approximately 625.00 million USD. Forecast data indicates a steady decline in import values from 2024 to 2028, with a year-on-year decrease of around 2.11% on average. The projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period suggests an average annual decline of approximately 2.15%. This downward trend reflects potential shifts in domestic consumption, changes in supply chain logistics, or evolving consumer preferences for seafood alternatives.

Future trends to watch for include:

Changes in consumer dietary habits or health trends impacting seafood demand.
Potential trade policies or economic conditions affecting import activities.
Innovations in shrimp and prawn farming or preservation techniques that could reshape market dynamics.
