In 2023, Japan's crustaceans production stood at approximately 54.5 thousand metric tons. From 2024 onwards, production is forecasted to decrease steadily, with an average annual decline of around 1.4% each year, leading to a production level of 50.9 thousand metric tons by 2028.
Year-on-year production declines are consistent, with slight reductions observed from 2024 through 2028, indicating a gradual and sustained downward trend. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year forecast period highlights a projected decline, emphasizing the need for strategic industry adjustments.
Future trends to watch for:
- Environmental and regulatory impacts on crustacean fisheries.
- Technological advancements in aquaculture and sustainable practices.
- Domestic and international demand fluctuations.
- Evolving consumer preferences and dietary trends in Japan.
