Despite a slight decline in growth rate from the previous year, Japan continued to heavily rely on imports of iron ore pellets in 2024. The top exporting countries such as Brazil, Canada, and Australia maintained their dominance in supplying to Japan, contributing to the high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) concentration. With a steady compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.67% over the period of 2020-2024, the market for iron ore pellets in Japan remains robust, highlighting the country's ongoing demand for this essential raw material.
