In 2023, the import volume of gum, wood, or sulphate turpentine oils to Japan was approximately 3.6263 million kilograms. From 2024 to 2028, there is a projected decrease in imports with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -1.50% over these years. Year-on-year decreases are modest, suggesting a consistent trend of decline.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in Japan's industrial demand for turpentine oils linked to changes in domestic production capabilities, environmental regulations, and potential shifts towards alternative materials that may affect the import landscape.
