The forecast for Japan's import of sanitary towels, tampons, and napkin liners for babies from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decline. Starting at 15.325 million kilograms in 2024, the volume is expected to decrease year-on-year, reaching 14.545 million kilograms by 2028. Compared to 2023, the trend confirms a declining trajectory with an anticipated average annual decline (CAGR) over the five years. The decrease reflects a decelerating demand that might warrant attention regarding domestic market shifts or alternative products.
Future trends to watch for include potential market adaption towards sustainable and eco-friendly sanitary products, which may alter import demands. Additionally, demographic shifts and lifestyle changes in Japan could further influence these trends.
