In 2023, Japan imported a significant volume of 1.4900 million kilograms of manganese oxides other than manganese dioxide. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decrease in imports from 1.4514 million kilograms in 2024 to 1.3105 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a consistent year-on-year decline in import volumes.
Year-on-year variations are as follows:
- 2024: -2.59%
- 2025: -2.50%
- 2026: -2.51%
- 2027: -2.52%
- 2028: -2.54%
The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period is -2.53%, indicating a slight but continuous reduction in the import volume of manganese oxides other than manganese dioxide.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in global manganese production and supply chain dynamics, technological advancements in alternative materials, and environmental regulations affecting manganese usage in industries. These factors could further influence Japan's import volumes and dependency on external manganese oxide supplies.
