In 2023, Japan's import of frozen whole fowls was approximately 18.6 million kilograms. Forecasts for 2024 to 2028 show a consistent year-on-year growth with imports reaching 22.086 million kilograms by 2028. Year-on-year growth rates are expected to average around 3.5%, driven by increasing domestic demand and limited local production capacity. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is anticipated to be approximately 3.5%, reflecting steady upward momentum in this sector.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of worldwide economic conditions on consumer purchasing power, trade policies affecting import/export dynamics, and advancements in cold chain logistics which might enhance efficiency and lower costs.
