The forecast for the import of fresh or chilled whole salmon to Japan shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. The import value is expected to rise from $200.08 million in 2024 to $205.17 million by 2028, suggesting a modest year-on-year growth. In 2023, the import value stood slightly below $200 million, indicating consistent growth expectations over the coming years. The average annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is around 0.6%.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of global supply chain disruptions, changes in consumer preferences towards seafood, and regulatory shifts in international trade that could affect pricing and import volumes. Additionally, environmental and sustainability considerations in the fishing industry may influence future market dynamics and the demand for sustainably sourced salmon.
