The import volume of snow-skis and parts to Japan shows a significant declining trend from 328.57 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 67.08 thousand kilograms in 2028. This forecast depicts a consistent reduction each year, with 2025 seeing a 20.5% decrease from 2024, 2026 a 25.3% decrease from 2025, 2027 a 33.2% decrease from 2026, and 2028 a 48.6% decrease from 2027. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for this period reflects a sharp negative trend.
Future trends to watch for:
- The impact of global climate change, potentially reducing snowfall and affecting ski demand.
- Developments in the domestic snow-ski manufacturing industry that may lead to reduced dependence on imports.
- Changes in consumer trends, favoring other outdoor activities over skiing.
- Possible economic or logistical challenges influencing import levels.
