In 2024, Japan continued to see significant import shipments of bread knives, with top exporting countries being China, Vietnam, Switzerland, India, and Sweden. The market remained highly concentrated with a high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI). Despite a modest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 0.68% from 2020 to 2024, there was a notable decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024 at -14.43%. This indicates a potential shift or adjustment in the market dynamics that importers and industry players should closely monitor for future strategic decisions.
