Live fish imports to Japan are forecasted to decrease gradually over the next five years, from 428.01 million US dollars in 2024 to 423.54 million US dollars in 2028. This steady decline indicates a slight, consistent year-on-year decrease. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) during this period reflects a minor overall reduction. In 2023, the baseline from which these forecasts are made has shown an established decline.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential changes in Japan's domestic policies on fish import regulations.
Global seafood market conditions that could impact supply chain and costs.
Changing consumer preferences towards sustainable and local seafood consumption.
