The import shipments of retro-reflective materials in Japan in 2024 continued to be dominated by China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Thailand, and South Korea. Despite a high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicating market concentration, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2024 showed a slight decline at -0.55%. Furthermore, the growth rate from 2023 to 2024 decreased by -0.77%, signaling a challenging year for the retro-reflective materials market in Japan. Market players should closely monitor these trends to navigate the evolving landscape effectively.
