In 2023, Japan imported approximately 780 thousand kilograms of pipes or tubes made of copper-zinc base alloy. Starting from 2024, the forecast indicates a gradual decline in import volumes year-on-year, decreasing to approximately 685 thousand kilograms by 2028. This represents a cumulative annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting a steady decline of about 2% annually over the five-year forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in demand for copper-zinc alloys driven by technological advancements, changes in manufacturing processes, or alternative materials that could further influence import volumes beyond 2028.
