Forecast: Import of Fermented Milk to Japan

The import of fermented milk to Japan is forecasted to show a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. The figures for 2024 to 2028 indicate a continuous upward trend, increasing from 141.89 thousand kilograms in 2024 to an anticipated 165.37 thousand kilograms by 2028. This represents an increase in demand of about 3-4% year-on-year, extrapolating the necessity for greater foreign supply to meet consumption needs. In 2023, prior to this forecast period, imports stood at a lower value, indicating a positive outlook for future import levels as demand rises steadily.

Looking forward, several trends are likely to shape the future of fermented milk imports in Japan:

  • Increasing consumer interest in health and wellness, driving demand for fermented and probiotic products.
  • Potential trade agreements that might impact the cost and ease of importing fermented milk products.
  • Global supply chain factors, including production advancements and geopolitical shifts.
  • Innovation in product variations tailored to Japanese tastes could spur further growth.
