The forecast for fresh or chilled Pacific salmon imports to Japan shows a steady decline from 2024 to 2028. The value of imports is expected to drop from 4.1762 million USD in 2024 to 3.2883 million USD in 2028. This represents a consistent year-on-year decrease, highlighting a downward trend over this period. In 2023, the import value was slightly higher than the forecasted 2024 figure, suggesting that the decline began prior to 2024.
Trends to watch for include potential changes in global trade policies, shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative products, and fluctuations in salmon supply and production costs. Observing these factors can provide insights into potential recovery or further decline in salmon imports to Japan.
