In 2023, Japan's import of shelled almonds stood as a baseline for forthcoming forecast analysis. Projected figures highlight a consistent annual growth, starting from 41.11 thousand metric tons in 2024 and reaching 43.65 thousand metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year growth varies modestly, but indicates a steady upward trend, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) suggesting sustainable demand over the five-year period.
Key future trends to monitor include:
- Consumer health trends and preference for almond-based products.
- Trade agreements affecting import tariffs and regulations.
- Global almond production levels impacting supply and prices.
