The import of Logs of Oak (Quercus Spp) to Japan is projected to decrease steadily from 2024 to 2028. Starting at $6.94 million in 2024, the forecast shows a consistent downward trend, dropping to $3.05 million by 2028. This reflects a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -17.5% across the five-year period. These declining figures suggest a significant reduction compared to 2023, when the value stood higher as the base year.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential shifts in Japan's wood demand due to environmental policies and sustainability initiatives.
Changing domestic and international economic conditions that could impact import levels.
Technological advancements in alternative materials that might influence the oak log market.
