The sunflowerseed oil import volume in Japan has shown a steady growth trajectory from 2024 onwards. Starting at 26 thousand metric tons in 2024, this figure is expected to rise incrementally to 28 thousand metric tons by 2028. Compared to 2023, where the import volume stood at approximately 25 thousand metric tons, there is an implied year-on-year increase of about 4% in 2024. The projected CAGR over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028 is approximately 1.8%.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards healthier oil options, changes in trade policies affecting import costs, and the impact of domestic production changes on import needs. Monitoring these factors will be crucial for adjusting market forecasts and strategies.
