In 2024, Japan continued to rely heavily on imports of carbon felt and graphite felt, with China, USA, Vietnam, South Korea, and Malaysia being the top exporting countries. Despite a high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicating concentrated market share, the industry experienced a negative Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of -8.12% from 2020 to 2024. The growth rate further declined by -13.58% from 2023 to 2024, highlighting challenges in the market. Japan's import dynamics in this sector reflect ongoing shifts in global trade patterns and demand for advanced materials.
