Based on the forecasted data, the import of glues based on starches or modified starches to Japan is expected to decline steadily from 2024 through 2028. In 2023, the actual import value stood at $408.45 thousand. The year-on-year decline from 2024 onwards mirrors a consistent downward trend, with negligible variations leading to a compound average growth rate (CAGR) that reflects a gradual decrease over this period.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological innovations that might replace or reduce the demand for starch-based glues in industrial processes.
Fluctuations in raw material prices that might impact the cost-effectiveness of starch-based glues.
Environmental regulations and sustainability trends that may either dampen or stimulate demand.
