The import of non-automatic electric typewriters weighing more than 12 kg to Japan has been on a steady decline over the past few years, decreasing from 3.83 thousand kilograms in 2017 to 0.882 thousand kilograms in 2021. This represents a consistent year-on-year drop in import volume. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period shows a significant average decrease annually.
Looking toward the future, factors such as technological advancement and the shift towards digital typewriters may further impact imports. Monitoring emerging markets, changes in consumer preferences, and advancements in alternative typing devices are crucial for understanding future trends in this niche import sector.
