In 2024, the forecasted import of non-refillable pocket lighters and gas-fueled goods to Japan is expected to be 2.07 million kilograms. This marks a notable decrease compared to 2023 actuals. The projected decline continues steadily through 2028, with an average year-on-year drop of around 15% from 2024 to 2028. This steady decline reflects a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -18% over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include the increased environmental regulations, which may spur demand for sustainable alternatives, potentially impacting the import of non-refillable products. Additionally, shifts in consumer preferences towards more eco-friendly options could further accelerate the downward trend.
