In 2024, Japan continued to rely heavily on flatware imports, with China, Vietnam, India, Portugal, and Switzerland leading the pack. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a concentrated market. Despite a moderate compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.55% from 2020 to 2024, the sharp decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024 at -18.0% suggests potential challenges in the market. Monitoring factors affecting import trends and consumer preferences will be crucial for stakeholders in the flatware industry looking to navigate the Japanese market effectively.
