The import of green tea in packages less than 3 kg to Japan is projected to decrease gradually from 2024 through 2028. Starting with 463.13 thousand kilograms in 2024, it is expected to drop to 458.24 thousand kilograms by 2028. This reflects a modest declining trend over the forecast period.

This gradual decline represents a sustained trend from previous years, where the volume stood at a comparable level in 2023. The year-on-year percentage variations depict a consistent slight downward movement, indicative of a mature market landscape. Over the five-year span, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a gentle negative average annual change, signaling a stable yet declining pattern.
