In 2023, the import of zinc plates, sheets, strips, and foil to Japan was recorded at 612 thousand kilograms. Forecasts indicate a slight downward trend from 2024, with the import decreasing gradually to 598.05 thousand kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year variation shows a modest average decline of approximately 0.75% annually. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a steady decrease, underscoring a consistent trend of diminishing imports.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in global trade policies, supply chain dynamics, and technological advancements that could affect the production and demand for zinc products globally. Additionally, Japan’s domestic industry developments and environmental regulations may also influence import needs.
