The import of medical, surgical, or laboratory sterilizers to Japan is projected to rise steadily from $37.711 million in 2024 to $42.866 million by 2028. Compared to the 2023 figure of $36 million, the forecast for 2024 shows a year-on-year increase of approximately 4.8%, with subsequent annual increases of around 3.5% to 3.8%. Over the five-year period from 2023 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is projected at about 4.1%.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in sterilization technology and increased demand driven by Japan's aging population, which may lead to a greater need for healthcare facilities and equipment sterilization, thereby possibly increasing import volumes.
