In 2023, Japan's import of permanent magnets, non-metal articles, stood at 9.0 million kilograms. The predicted values indicate a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, with imports rising from 9.0589 million kg in 2024 to 9.3123 million kg in 2028. Year-on-year growth rates suggest modest expansion in import volumes, reflecting a stable demand trajectory. Over this five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) represents a consistent upward trend in import volume, emphasizing Japan's strategic focus on technological and industrial applications of magnets.

Future trends to monitor include:

Emerging technologies and innovations in electronic devices that could drive increased demand for permanent magnets.
Trade policies and global supply chain dynamics that may affect import stability.
Environmental regulations and sustainability practices impacting production and use of magnetic materials.
