The forecast for Japan's import of ink other than printing ink suggests a consistent decrease from 2024 to 2028. As we look at year-on-year changes from 2024 through 2028, the imports are expected to decline by approximately 10% annually. This steady decline signifies a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about -8% over the five-year period. In 2023, the value stood at a higher point, indicating a clear downward trend beginning in 2024.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological advancements reducing the reliance on imported ink.
Potential shifts in domestic production capacity or policy changes affecting import dynamics.
Emerging substitutes or innovations lowering the demand for traditional ink imports.
