As of 2023, Japan's rapeseed oil domestic consumption was recorded at approximately 881.0 thousand metric tons. Forecasts predict a steady increase in consumption, reaching 905.0 thousand metric tons by 2028. Year-on-year variations exhibit modest growth between 0.5% and 1%, illustrating a consistent upward trend. Over the next five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is expected to average around 0.5% annually.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards healthier oils, which could impact rapeseed oil demand.
Government policy changes on imports and sustainability mandates influencing domestic oil production.
Technological advances in cultivation and oil extraction could affect production efficiency and costs.
