The forecasted data for the number of employees in the fabricated metal products sector in Japan shows a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028. Starting with 712.0 thousand units in 2024, there is a gradual decrease to 708.0 thousand units in 2025, 703.0 thousand units in 2026, 699.0 thousand units in 2027, and finally to 694.0 thousand units in 2028. This represents a year-on-year negative growth trend, with an average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -0.64% over the five-year period.
Looking ahead, industry stakeholders should monitor potential factors that could influence these trends, such as technological advancements in manufacturing, changes in global trade policies, and domestic economic conditions. Shifts in these areas could impact the demand for labor in Japan’s fabricated metal products sector and potentially reverse or exacerbate the current downward trend in employment figures.
