In 2023, Japan imported approximately 75.8 thousand kilograms of wigs, false beards, and eyebrows made of human hair. From 2024 to 2028, there is a clear downward trend, with imports forecasted to decrease by 5-6% annually. By 2028, the volume is expected to reduce to 57.34 thousand kilograms. This reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -5.11% over these five years.

Future trends to watch for:

Consumer preferences shifting towards natural or alternative materials due to growing environmental awareness.
Possibility of domestic production replacing imports amid technological advances in synthetic hair manufacturing.
Changes in fashion trends and demographic behaviors that might affect demand for wigs and related products.
