In 2024, Japan saw a steady increase in automotive rubber molded components imports, with key suppliers including China, Vietnam, USA, Thailand, and Philippines. Despite the diverse source of imports, the market remained competitive with a low Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicating low concentration. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2024 was moderate at 1.17%, while a slight decline in the growth rate from 2023 to 2024 at -7.82% suggests a temporary slowdown. Overall, the market dynamics reflect a resilient and evolving landscape in the automotive rubber molded components sector in Japan.
