In 2023, Japan imported approximately 418.7 thousand kilograms of not knitted or crocheted men's and boys' swimwear. From 2024 onwards, forecasts show a declining trend, with imports reducing year on year from 406.45 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 358.91 thousand kilograms by 2028. This indicates gradual decreases, averaging a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around -3.0% over the five-year period. The year-on-year decrease is slightly steeper recently, accentuating a downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of fashion trends altering demand, potential trade policy changes affecting import costs, or local manufacturers increasing domestic production, which might further influence these declines.
