The import of fresh or chilled fish fillet or meat to Japan is projected to increase steadily over the forecast period from 2024 to 2028, starting at 22.531 million kilograms and reaching 25.764 million kilograms. Comparing these forecasts to actual data for 2023, which is unavailable, the projected year-on-year growth over these years appears consistent, indicating a steady demand. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period suggests an upward trend in imports, possibly responding to consumer demand or seafood supply fluctuations.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in Japan's domestic fishing industry, international trade policies impacting seafood imports, consumer preferences for sustainable seafood, and the effects of climate change on global fish stocks. These factors could significantly influence import volumes and market dynamics.
