In 2024, Japan continued to rely heavily on iron ore imports, with top suppliers being Australia, Brazil, Canada, South Africa, and Peru. The high concentration of the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicates a dominant market presence by these countries. Despite a modest compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.99% from 2020 to 2024, there was a slight decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024, reflecting potential market challenges. Japan's iron ore import shipments remain crucial for its industrial sector, highlighting the country's ongoing dependence on these key suppliers for its raw material needs.
