In 2023, the prevalence of tuberculosis in Japan was recorded at 14.0 cases per hundred thousand persons. The forecast for 2024 through 2028 indicates a consistent decline in tuberculosis cases, with a year-on-year decrease of approximately 7.7% from 2024 to 2025, followed by consistent reductions each year thereafter. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period from 2024 to 2028 is approximately -8.3% per annum, indicating a steady improvement in tuberculosis control efforts in Japan.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in healthcare policies, increased efficacy in vaccine distribution, and public health campaigns, which may further accelerate the decline in tuberculosis prevalence. Monitoring these elements will be crucial in understanding and sustaining this positive trend.
