The import of contact lenses to Japan is anticipated to grow steadily from 2024 onwards, starting at 7.9333 million kilograms, with a gradual increase noted every year, reaching 8.8183 million kilograms by 2028. This projected growth reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 2.1% over the five-year period. The year-on-year growth percentage for the years observed suggests a consistent demand increase, with each subsequent year showing an approximate gain of 2.8% by the sequential evaluations made.
Looking ahead, several trends warrant attention:
- The increasing preference for daily disposable lenses and advancements in lens technology could drive demand higher.
- The aging population may boost the requirement for corrective lenses, contributing to import volume growth.
- Sustainability concerns might influence industry practices and catalyze shifts to eco-friendly packaging and materials.
- Potential trade policy adjustments could impact import figures and market dynamics.
