In 2023, the domestic consumption of shelled almonds in Japan stood at 40.5 thousand metric tons. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady upward trend, with projected consumption reaching 43.65 thousand metric tons by 2028. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of roughly 1.5% over the five-year period. Year-on-year, the projected growth rates are modest but consistent, reflecting an increasing demand for almonds in Japan.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards healthier snacking options, which could further boost almond consumption. Additionally, market dynamics such as supply chain factors and price fluctuations may impact the forecasted growth trajectory.
