In 2023, the domestic consumption of table grapes in Japan was 74.15 thousand metric tons. Foreseeing a consistent decline, the forecasted volume dips from 71.27 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 60.09 thousand metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year percentage decrease ranges from roughly 4% to 5%, indicating a steady downward trend.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards other fruits or snacking options, impacting table grape demand.
- Adjustments in production methods or import policies that might influence domestic availability or competitiveness.
- Economic factors such as changes in disposable income or population demographics that could further alter consumption patterns.
