In 2023, Japan's import of film in rolls, except for colour photography, of a width exceeding 610 mm and a length exceeding 200 m stood at a lower baseline compared to future projections. From 2024 to 2028, a forecasted steady growth is present, with imports rising from 6.9233 million kilograms in 2024 to 8.0154 million kilograms in 2028. This reflects a consistent annual increase and a positive industry outlook.
Future trends to watch for:
- Advancements in large format film technology and its applications.
- Potential impacts of trade policies and economic relationships between Japan and key supplier countries.
- Shifts in demand driven by industry-specific needs, such as cinema, photography, or industrial applications.
