The import volume of untreated or unpainted coniferous logs and poles to Japan is expected to decrease steadily from 2024 to 2028. Starting from an estimated 4.9991 billion kilograms in 2024, the volume is projected to decline each year, reaching 4.7519 billion kilograms by 2028. Year-on-year, this represents a decrease of approximately 1.28% on average. No variations are provided for previous years, but the trend indicates a consistent annual reduction over this forecast period.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in Japan's domestic forestry policies, changes in global supply chain dynamics, and fluctuations in demand for construction and manufacturing materials that could impact the import patterns of coniferous wood.
