Facing a continuous decline in the birth rate in Japan, and consequently the population, staple foods is set to see a continuous slow volume decline over the forecast period. Furthermore, many players in staple foods have been raising the prices of most of their products, as some of the raw materials used in staple foods have seen steep increases in price, such as wheat and meat, for which Japan heavily relies on imports.
In the forecast period, better for you products are likely to benefit from a continued consumer desire to reduce the consumption of products that are high in salt, fat, or sugar, as these have been shown to be linked to health problems. In addition, although the Japanese diet is often viewed as healthy, the salt content is often a problem, as it is higher than the WHO recommended salt intake of 5g a day for adults for a healthy diet.
With growing awareness of the connection between food and health, more Japanese consumers are likely to look to change their diet to remain healthy in the forecast period. Vegetarian and vegan diets are often regarded as healthy, which is likely to lead to an increase in the number of consumers following such diets.
