Despite a high concentration of imports from top countries such as China and the Philippines, Japan's board games import market faced a significant decline in growth with a negative CAGR of -13.42% from 2020 to 2024. The negative growth trend continued in 2024 with a further decline of -17.07%. This indicates a challenging landscape for international board game exporters looking to break into the Japanese market. Strategies to revitalize interest and demand in board games in Japan may be necessary to counteract these downward trends.
