Japan's paper and paperboard import shipments in 2024 continued to show high concentration, with top exporting countries being Indonesia, China, USA, Norway (excluding Svalbard and Jan Mayen), and Thailand. The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) remained very high, indicating significant market dominance. However, the industry experienced a negative Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of -2.08% from 2020 to 2024, with a further decline in growth rate of -2.92% from 2023 to 2024. This suggests a challenging landscape for paper and paperboard imports in Japan, potentially impacted by global economic trends and market dynamics.
The Japan paper and paperboard market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.2% during the forecast period 2020-2026. The growth of this market is attributed to the increasing demand for graphic papers, speciality papers, printing & writing papers in various end use industries such as food packaging, pharmaceuticals, hygiene products and other consumer goods manufacturers. Furthermore, technological advancements in production processes are expected to fuel the demand for Japanese paper and paperboard products over the coming years. Moreover, changing lifestyles and growing trends towards healthier living have propelled the growth prospects of this industry in recent years. Additionally, rising environmental awareness among customers has driven companies to produce eco-friendly paper and board materials that are made from recycled material which is predicted to augment the expansion rate throughout 2021-2026 globally.
