In 2023, the import of flower seeds for sowing to Japan stood at an estimated volume, not provided explicitly in the data. From 2024 onwards, the forecast indicates a consistent annual decrease in volume, with imports declining from 111.79 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 81.7 thousand kilograms in 2028. The year-on-year variation reveals a descending trend: a progressive reduction of approximately 6% to 9% annually over the forecast period. The 5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests an overall average annual decrease, reflecting a negatively sloped growth trajectory for this industry.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards domestic or alternative flower varieties, which might impact import volumes. Additionally, Japan's regulatory changes affecting importation and climatic considerations influencing domestic production could further shape import demand.
