In 2023, Japan imported 3.0 thousand metric tons of cottonseed oil. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a stable import volume, consistently at 3.0 thousand metric tons annually. This indicates no year-on-year variation, reflecting a steady import trend without significant changes over the period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years remains 0%, suggesting that the market demand or supply factors are expected to remain unchanged.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential changes in domestic cottonseed oil production which could impact import volumes.
Price volatility in the global vegetable oil market, affecting import pricing and volume.
Evolving consumer preferences towards healthier or alternative oils.
Trade policies and tariffs that may influence import practices.
