The import of machines for making paper and board bags, sacks, and envelopes to Japan shows a slight declining trend from 2024 to 2028, with volumes decreasing from 157.48 to 151.64 thousand kilograms. Compared to 2023, there is a noticeable downturn expected, highlighting a potential reduction in demand or substitution with local production. Year-on-year decreases exhibit a gradual decline ranging from approximately 1% to roughly 1.5% annually. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is negative, suggesting a consistent downward trajectory.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in local production, changes in environmental policies favoring sustainability, and shifts in consumer demand which might influence further declines in imports. Monitoring global trade dynamics and supply chain resilience will also be crucial.
