The forecast for the import of silk yarn, excluding waste, to Japan shows a notable downward trend from 2024 to 2028, decreasing from 439.83 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 269.44 thousand kilograms by 2028. This represents a significant year-on-year decrease, averaging a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately -11.67% over this five-year period. In 2023, the specific import volume level isn't provided, but the sharp decline post-2024 indicates a reduction in demand or shifts in industry trends.
Future trends to watch include changes in global silk production, potential shifts in domestic demand within Japan, and possible impacts from trade policies affecting silk yarn imports. Additionally, sustainability concerns and innovations in textile materials could further influence import volumes. Monitoring these factors will be crucial in anticipating longer-term trends in silk yarn imports.
