Japan’s imports of wooden windows are not very large but from the beginning of the year there has been a steady rise in the value of imports. The value of May imports were up 7% year-on-year and month-on-month May imports rose by the same amount, as ITTO reported.
The three main shippers are China (39% of imports) the US (27%) and the Philippines (20%). Sweden is a regular supplier of windows to Japan and in May the value of shipments added a further 8% to total imports.
