In 2023, imports of non-refillable pocket lighters and gas-fuelled lighters to Japan were valued at 259.35 million. The forecast data shows a declining trend in the following years, with a 4.3% decline from 2024 to 2025, and an annual decrease of approximately 4.1% thereafter. By 2028, the value is projected to drop to 209.12 million. This is indicative of a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about -4.1% from 2024 to 2028.
Future trends to monitor include potential innovation in alternative lighting methods and shifts in consumer preferences, which may further impact imports. It's also important to consider regulatory changes concerning gas-fuelled products that could influence market dynamics.
