In 2023, the import volume of laminated safety glass for non-vehicle use in Japan stood at 3.722 million kilograms. Looking at the forecasts, from 2024 to 2028, we see a steady year-on-year increase: 2024 (3.7964 million kg), 2025 (3.8709 million kg), 2026 (3.9439 million kg), 2027 (4.0154 million kg), and 2028 (4.0855 million kg). Year-on-year percentage increases are as follows:
- 2024: +1.99%
- 2025: +1.96%
- 2026: +1.89%
- 2027: +1.81%
- 2028: +1.75%
Analyzing trends over the last two years, there was a consistent growth, and over the forecasted period up to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is approximately 1.88%. This indicates a stable but modest growth in import volume.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in safety glass technology, increased construction activities, and evolving building codes necessitating higher safety standards. Additionally, economic factors such as trade policies and global supply chain dynamics could impact import volume. Keeping an eye on these factors will be crucial for strategic planning.
