As of 2024, the forecast for the import of men's and boys' anoraks of cotton to Japan indicates a gradual decline. In 2023, the imports stood at 73.119 million USD, and a year-on-year decrease is projected over the next five years, with import values dropping from 72.162 million USD in 2024 to 68.319 million USD in 2028.
