The import of fluorspar containing more than 97% calcium fluoride to Japan is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the volume stood slightly higher at approximately 89 million kilograms. The year-on-year decreases are modest, with each year seeing a reduction by a little over 1% compared to the previous year, between 2024 and 2028. This trend suggests a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about -1.5% over these five years.

Future trends to watch include:

Fluctuations in global demand for high-purity calcium fluoride, which could affect supply strategies.
Technological advancements in industries utilizing fluorspar, potentially altering import needs.
Regulatory changes or sustainability initiatives affecting mining and exportation processes from major source countries.
