Japan Plant-Based Meat Industry Trends and Drivers:

Plant-based meat market in Japan is experiencing significant shift, due to changing consumer preferences in more environment friendly / healthier food options. Japanese consumers are increasingly seeking alternative sources of animal meat as climate change, animal welfare, and health are on the rise in Japan. They are food products based most often on soy, peas, or wheat proteins, which are designed to have the texture and the taste of actual meat and thus are produced to satisfy not only vegans and vegetarians but also an increasing number of flexitarians. Moreover, the young generation in cities is setting out to examine this diet comprising more of vegetation as influenced by international trends and social media. This developed interest has urged most restaurants and food chains in Japan to introduce plant-based foods on their menus, which means that such products are more available than ever.

The other factor that is driving the demand of plant meat in Japan is the existence of food innovators and culinary startups. They are also on an overdrive in making the taste, texture, and nutritional value of plant-based products acceptable to the Japanese discerning palates. Such innovations do not concern only the western type of meat substitutes such as a burger or sausage but also long-established Japanese food items such as vegetarian karaage and gyoza. Slowly expanding due to food tech innovation and the cooperation of local businesses with foreign enterprises, the market is intended to supply giving high-end meat alternatives that are localized in nature to supermarkets and convenient stores. With consumers increasingly becoming aware of their food choices, and with plant-based food becoming more accepted culturally, the potential of the Japanese alternative protein market is enormous, with changes occurring steadily and sustainably.
