The import of fungicides to Japan is forecasted to show a decreasing trend from 2024 to 2028, with volumes dropping from 8.6888 million kilograms in 2024 to 8.0332 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a continuous decline of around 2% year-on-year, highlighting a consistent reduction in import needs over this period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is projected to be negative, indicating a continued weakening in fungicide imports.
Future trends to watch for include changes in Japan's agricultural practices that might affect fungicide demand, such as increased adoption of integrated pest management techniques or advancements in alternative biopesticides. Additionally, potential regulatory changes or shifts in domestic production capacity could also influence import patterns.
