The forecast for the import of fish-liver oils and fractions to Japan shows a decreasing trend from 2024 through 2028. The imports, measured in thousand kilograms, are expected to decline steadily each year. In 2023, the actual import stood at slightly above the forecast value for 2024, highlighting a progressive downward trend. From 2024 to 2025, the forecast reflects a decline, signaling a shrinking demand or perhaps a shift in sourcing or consumption habits. The projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year span supports the outlook of a gradual decrease.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in health trends influencing demand for fish-liver oils, potential changes in trade policies affecting import volumes, and advancements in local production or alternatives that could impact reliance on imports. Additionally, environmental and sustainability movements may alter consumer preference and influence future import trends.
