The supply of centrifugal sugar in Japan is projected to decrease from 2024 to 2028, starting at 2.36 million metric tons in 2024 and declining to 2.3 million metric tons by 2028. This represents a gradual decline with a year-on-year decrease of approximately 0.4% to 0.6%. The data from 2023 is required to calculate exact year-on-year changes and projections, but the overall trend shows a steady decline over the forecasted period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years reflects a negative trend, indicating a consistent decrease in supply.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential changes in sugar consumption patterns driven by health trends and government policies.
Fluctuations in global sugar prices affecting import strategies.
Technological advancements in sugar production that could alter supply dynamics.
Environmental policies impacting agricultural practices and sugar production.
