The import of unwrought zinc to Japan is projected to follow a decreasing trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 69.757 million USD in 2024, the forecasted figure is set to diminish annually, reaching 66.055 million USD by 2028. This reveals a gradual decline amounting to an approximate 1% year-on-year reduction.
In 2023, the actual import value was slightly higher than the estimated 2024 value, indicating a continuous downturn trend. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a steady contraction in the unwrought zinc import market.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in Japan's industrial demand, global zinc production, and geopolitical factors affecting international trade policies, which may influence import volumes and values significantly.
