In 2023, Japan's import volume of frozen raspberry, blackberry, mulberry, and loganberry totaled 2.88 million kilograms. Forecasts for 2024 to 2028 show a modest but consistent annual increase in imports, growing from 2.91 to 3.01 million kilograms. Between 2023 and 2024, the projected year-on-year increase is marginal, with an average growth across the subsequent four years around 0.66% annually. Over this forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a steady upward trajectory.

Trends to watch for:

Consumer demand for healthier, plant-based products could drive continued growth.
Japan's emphasis on high-quality and safe imports may shape supplier dynamics.
Fluctuations in currency exchange rates and international trade policies could impact import volumes.
