The import forecast of unwrought copper-zinc base alloys into Japan indicates a significant decline from 2024 to 2028. The value is expected to decrease by approximately 62.5% over these years, starting at 729.94 thousand USD in 2024 and falling to 266.99 thousand USD in 2028. Year-on-year, this reflects a declining trend, with significant drops averaging 20% annually.
In 2023, the import value stood higher than the forecast for 2024, suggesting challenges such as demand fluctuations or shifts in manufacturing trends impacting imports. Future trends to watch for include global economic conditions, copper and zinc price volatility, and advancements in alloy material substitutes, which could further influence import levels.
