In 2023, Japan imported wheat gluten valued at approximately 22.2 million kilograms. From 2024 to 2028, the forecast suggests a consistent upward trend in imports, with an anticipated growth rate ranging from 1.23% to 1.65% year-on-year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is expected to be around 1.4%, indicating a steady demand increase.
Future trends to watch include the impact of changing dietary preferences in Japan, with a potential rise in gluten-free products affecting demand. Additionally, global wheat supply chain disruptions could influence import levels significantly.
