The forecast for Japan's import of film in rolls, except for color photography, of a width exceeding 610 mm and a length not exceeding 200 m indicates a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. The value stood at approximately 3 million US dollars in 2023, and it is expected to decrease steadily each year, reaching about 2 million US dollars by 2028. This represents a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 7% decrease per year over the five-year period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements potentially reducing the need for such film types.
Increasing emphasis on digital solutions and its impact on traditional film imports.
Shifts in demand from industries using these films and policy changes affecting imports.
