Despite a decline in overall growth rate, Japan continues to be a significant market for playing cards and board games import shipments. The top exporting countries to Japan in 2024 are China, USA, Vietnam, Taiwan, Province of China, and South Korea, indicating a diverse range of sources. However, the high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) concentration suggests a competitive market landscape. The negative Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2024 and the slight decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024 reflect some challenges in the industry, highlighting the need for strategic planning and innovation to drive future growth.
