In 2023, the import value of poles treated or painted with preservatives to Japan was approximately 270.5 thousand US dollars. The forecast for 2024 to 2028 shows a steady increase, with an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 3.5%. Year-on-year growth from 2024 onwards is projected at 3.68% from 2024 to 2025, 3.48% from 2025 to 2026, 3.30% from 2026 to 2027, and 3.13% from 2027 to 2028. This indicates consistent and incremental growth in the import of these products.
Trends to watch include potential fluctuations in global supply chains, changes in Japanese construction or infrastructure projects, and shifts in environmental regulations affecting preservation treatments. The growing focus on sustainable and durable materials might further influence import dynamics. Additionally, currency fluctuations and trade agreements could impact future import values to Japan.
