Japan's import shipments of castor oil and derivatives in 2024 continued to be dominated by key exporting countries such as India, USA, Italy, Brazil, and China. The market concentration, as indicated by the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI), remained very high in 2024, reflecting the strong presence of these top exporting nations. Despite a notable compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.19% from 2020 to 2024, there was a slight decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024 at -9.67%. This data suggests a stable market with established trade relationships, albeit with a recent slowdown in growth.
