In 2023, Japan's egg import volume was approximately in line with the forecasted values for 2024 and 2025, both projected at 36.0 thousand metric tons. By 2026, a slight decline is anticipated, with import volumes decreasing to 35.0 thousand metric tons and remaining stable through 2028. This represents a 2.78% reduction from 2025 to 2026. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -1.41% from 2024 to 2028 indicates a minor but notable decline in Japan's egg import volumes over the forecast period.
Future trends to watch include:
- Potential impacts of domestic production adjustments on import volumes.
- Changes in consumer preferences towards locally sourced or alternative protein sources.
- Evolving international trade policies that could affect import tariffs or restrictions.
