In 2023, Japan imported a volume of nuts standing at approximately 114.0 thousand metric tons. The forecast for 2024 shows a slight increase to 115.0 thousand metric tons, maintaining the same volume for 2025. A modest growth trend emerges from 2026 to 2028, with the volume increasing incrementally to 117.0 thousand metric tons by 2028. The year-on-year growth is fairly stable, with negligible variation or fluctuation during this period. Over the last two years before 2024, the growth was similarly subdued with very little change. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the next five years is minimal, reflecting a slow and steady increase.

Looking ahead, market analysts should watch for:

Global supply chain shifts impacting nut availability.
Changes in consumer preferences towards healthier diets which may increase demand.
Economic fluctuations and trade agreements influencing import tariffs and availability.
