The forecast for fresh or chilled Atlantic and Danube salmon imports to Japan from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual increase in import value, growing from $192.01 million to $194.73 million. This reflects a stable year-on-year growth with an average increase of approximately 0.35% annually. The increase in value suggests a steady demand for salmon in Japan, possibly due to a growing preference for healthy food options or an expanding consumer base interested in seafood.

Future trends to watch:

Potential changes in consumer preferences influencing demand, especially towards more sustainable or locally sourced products.
Impact of geopolitical factors or trade agreements affecting import regulations and salmon market dynamics.
Developments in aquaculture technology that might affect pricing and availability of salmon.
