In 2024, Japan continued to see a significant influx of Scotch whiskey imports, with the UK, USA, Canada, Ireland, and Taiwan being the top exporting countries. Despite the high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicating concentrated market dynamics, the industry maintained a steady Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4.15% from 2020 to 2024. However, there was a slight decline in growth rate from 2023 to 2024 at -0.4%. The Japanese market's continued interest in Scotch whiskey from various countries reflects a robust demand for quality imports, despite marginal fluctuations in growth rates.
