A growing health-conscious population fuels the meat market in Japan. Furthermore, increasing imports and exports of meat in response to increasing demand for meat among Japanese consumers also favors Japan’s meat market. In addition, the growing demand for chilled and frozen meat and its increasing accessibility through supermarkets/hypermarkets and specialty stores fuel the market for meat in Japan. However, increasing adoption of a vegan lifestyle and growing penetration of plant-based food may act as a major restraint for the market’s growth.

Increasing Availability of Packaged Frozen Meat Projected to Boost the Market’s Growth

With the increasing demand for ready-to-eat food, meat processing companies in Japan are launching chilled and frozen meat to cater to consumers’ needs. Frozen meat has a longer shelf life and can retain nutrients for a longer period. In addition, many meat products are ready-to-eat and require only frying or baking before consumption. In order to meet the needs of the working-class population with a busy lifestyle, companies are increasingly selling frozen meat that is ready to eat. With the increase in the number of workers in Japan, the demand for frozen meat is also on the rise, propelling the growth of the market.

Flourishing Tourism Sector Favoring the Japan Meat Market

According to the 2017 Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report, Japan ranked 4^th out of 141 countries, which is the highest in Asia. One of the reasons for the booming meat market in Japan is the flourishing tourism industry. Tourists from around the world are generally attracted to Japanese cuisine. The number of foreign tourists in Japan in 2019 reached 31.88 million. As a result, hotels, restaurants, and street food vendors are growing rapidly, increasing the size of the Japan meat market.

Based on categories, the Japan meat market is segmented into on-trade and off-trade. The off-trade segment is further classified into supermarkets/hypermarkets, specialty stores, online stores, and others. The supermarket/hypermarkets segment accounts for the largest market owing to the availability of a wide range of products, including fresh, chilled, and frozen meat under one roof. The presence of a high number of supermarkets/hypermarkets in Japan also plays a crucial factor in driving the market growth.
