The distribution of table grapes in Japan is projected to decline steadily from 70.3 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 53.38 thousand metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year variations indicate a consistent decrease in volume, with the most substantial drop expected between 2027 and 2028. This translates to an overall negative trend with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting a continual downturn over the five-year forecast period. In comparison, 2023 closed at a higher distribution level than anticipated for 2024.
Future trends to monitor include changes in consumer preferences and potential advancements in grape storage and transportation technologies, which could impact distribution volumes. Additionally, shifts in trade policies or climate conditions affecting grape production could further influence the dynamics of the grape distribution market in Japan.
