The import of fresh or chilled chicory to Japan is projected to rise from 2024 to 2028, with an increase in volume from 3.4716 million kilograms in 2024 to 3.7282 million kilograms in 2028. As of the last available data from 2023, Japan imported 3.42 million kilograms. The forecast reflects consistent growth, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) that suggests steady demand. Year-on-year percentages highlight a gradual increase, underscoring an upward trend.
Looking ahead, potential trends include increasing consumer awareness of chicory's health benefits and a shift in dietary preferences, which could bolster import volumes further. Monitoring trade regulations and domestic production changes will also be crucial.
