The forecast for the import of tin not alloyed, unwrought, to Japan shows a steady decline over the next five years. Starting from an actual volume (in Million Kilograms) of approximately 24.0 in 2023, the import volume is projected to decrease to 22.635 by 2028. The year-on-year variation reveals a consistent downward trend, with modest reductions each year, indicating a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) showing a negative growth trajectory.
