In 2023, Japan's import of woven pile carpet made of manmade yarn stood at an undisclosed value, forming the basis for a declining trend observed in subsequent forecast years. From 2024 to 2028, imports are anticipated to decrease from 55.725 million USD to 50.58 million USD. Specifically, year-on-year variations highlight a consistent decrease, with values forecasted to drop by approximately 2% annually.
