The forecast for Japan's import of infant foods of cereals, flour, starch, or milk indicates a decreasing trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 9.44 thousand US dollars in 2024 and declining to 4.61 thousand US dollars by 2028. This trend suggests a significant contraction in the market, with year-on-year decreases becoming more pronounced over the forecasted period. From 2023, where values presumably stood higher than in 2024, the market is anticipated to experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of negative values, indicating declining demand or market adjustments.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in domestic production of infant foods, changes in birth rates affecting demand, and alterations in trade policies that could impact import levels. Economic factors and consumer preference trends towards locally produced infant foods could further influence imports into Japan.
