In 2023, Japan imported an estimated value of polysulphides and polysulphones at 39.1 million kilograms. Forecasts for 2024 project an import volume of 39.863 million kilograms, indicating a modest increase. Over the subsequent years, projections suggest a steady rise, reaching 43.055 million kilograms by 2028. Analyzing the year-on-year percentage growth reveals a consistent upward trend, driven by an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 2% over the forecasted period.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in industrial demand for polymers in automotive and electronics sectors, as well as global supply chain dynamics that may impact import volumes. Additionally, technological advancements and environmental regulations could alter the landscape for polysulphides and polysulphones usage in Japan.
