The import volume of ceramic housewares, except for porcelain or china, to Japan is forecasted to decline from 15.289 million kilograms in 2024 to 12.024 million kilograms by 2028. In 2023, the import stood slightly higher than the forecasted value of 2024. Between 2024 and 2028, the year-on-year percentage decrease reflects a consistent downward trend. Over these five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) shows an average decline in import volume.
Future trends to watch include shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable or locally-sourced products and potential economic impacts affecting import volumes, such as trade agreements or currency fluctuations. Additionally, advancements in ceramic production technology might influence Japan's import needs.
