The forecast for Japan's import of ice skates, roller skates, and skating boots shows a significant downward trend from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, imports were at 2.5 million USD. Notably, the year-on-year declines are substantial, with the value halving between 2026 and 2027, and almost negligible in 2028. The overall Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 demonstrates a sharp negative trend, indicating a steady decrease in import value over these years.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential changes in consumer preferences towards domestic products.
- Impact of technological advancements in skating equipment on import figures.
