Japan's import of potato starch is anticipated to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028, starting at 8.0698 million kilograms and decreasing each year. The year-on-year change reflects a consistent negative trend, with reductions in import volumes yearly through this period. As of 2023, it is pertinent to note that the imports have surpassed levels observed in the preceding years leading up to the current forecast scenario.
The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period indicates an average yearly decrease, reflecting a shrinking demand or increased domestic production efforts. Future trends to monitor include potential shifts in domestic agricultural policy, technological innovations in starch production, and international trade dynamics affecting supply chains.
