The forecast for total researchers in the manufacture of coke and refined petroleum products in Japan shows a subtle decline over the projected period from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 1.62 thousand in 2024, the value decreases incrementally each year to 1.58 thousand by 2028. This represents an annual average decrease or negative Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this five-year span.
Key variations over the years reveal a year-on-year decrease of approximately -0.62% from 2024 to 2025 and continue similarly in the following years.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in alternative energy production, which may further influence the demand for researchers in traditional petroleum sectors. Additionally, environmental regulations and the global shift towards sustainability could also impact future employment trends within this industry.
