The forecast for Japan's import of wood in the rough or roughly squared shows a declining trend from 2024 through 2028. Starting at 468.35 million USD in 2024, the value is projected to decrease annually, reaching 244.98 million USD by 2028. This consistent decline indicates a significant decrease over the forecast period, with year-on-year reductions reflecting a roughly negative average annual growth rate over five years. In 2023, the import value stood higher than in 2024, aligning with this descent.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in Japan's domestic wood production, changes in global supply chain dynamics, and environmental or regulatory shifts that could impact import needs or costs.
