In 2023, Japan's fish liver oil import volume was 1.60 thousand metric tons. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady year-on-year increase, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 1.5% over this period. In 2024, the volume is expected to reach 1.61 thousand metric tons, gradually increasing to 1.71 thousand metric tons by 2028.

Future trends to watch for include:

Shifts in consumer preferences toward healthier oils, potentially driving higher import volumes.
Changes in global supply chain dynamics impacting price and availability.
Regulatory changes in import tariffs or quotas that could affect market access and competition.
