The import of citrus-based jams, jellies, and marmalade to Japan is forecasted to decline progressively from 2024 to 2028, decreasing from 2.1273 million kilograms in 2024 to 1.9611 million kilograms in 2028. The year-on-year decrease in import volume indicates a consistent reduction averaging approximately 2% per year, highlighting a trend of declining interest or availability of such imports. As of 2023, the import volume stood approximately at a higher level compared to 2024, indicating a downturn beginning this year.
Future trends to watch for include potential changes in consumer preferences towards locally produced alternatives, economic factors influencing import decisions, and shifts in supply chain efficiencies. Monitoring global citrus production levels and trade agreements could also impact the import volume in this segment.
