The import of diesel or semi-diesel automobiles with cylinder capacity not exceeding 1500 CC to Japan is expected to experience a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. In 2023, the import volume stood at an estimated 12.5 million kilograms. Forecasted figures reveal a consistent upward trend with an average year-on-year growth rate of approximately 5% between 2024 and 2025, escalating to a CAGR of around 5.1% over the five-year forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards more fuel-efficient or alternative energy vehicles, regulatory changes impacting diesel vehicle imports, and macroeconomic factors such as currency fluctuations and trade agreements that could influence import volumes.
