What the numbers say
In 2024, Japan's households and NPISHs final consumption expenditure (current LCU) rose 1.9% on 2023 (from 330.18 trillion to 336.58 trillion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +0.8% and a typical year strayed about 1.9% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.6 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 20.9% in 1974 and the biggest yearly fall was 4.1% in 2020. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about 3.6 trillion a year. A straight line explains 59% of the movement over 10 observed years.
