The forecast for Japan's import of rare gases shows a consistent decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 1.5855 million kilograms in 2024 and decreasing steadily to 1.4634 million kilograms by 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of approximately 2% on average across this period. Given the decrease from 2023 to 2024, it's apparent that the downward trend has already begun. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years highlights an average annual reduction rate of approximately 2%.
Future trends to watch include potential impacts of technological advancements in rare gas extraction and usage efficiency, geopolitical factors influencing global supply, and Japan's strategies for energy and emissions control. Continuous investment in alternative technologies may further alter import needs.
