The import of shelled almonds to Japan is projected to rise steadily from 2024 to 2028, starting at 39.714 million kilograms in 2024 and reaching 42.377 million kilograms by 2028. In 2023, the imports stood slightly lower, setting the groundwork for a consistent upward trend. The year-on-year growth reflects a gradual increase, indicating a stable demand for shelled almonds in Japan. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period suggests a modest but steady pace of market expansion.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in consumer preferences towards healthier snacking options, which could spur further demand. Additionally, global trade policies and currency fluctuations could impact import volumes. Sustainability and ethical sourcing might also become more significant factors influencing market dynamics in the coming years.
