Japan Plant Based Protein Industry Trends and Drivers:

The plant-based protein-related industry in Japan is undergoing impressive growth due to the change of preference on the part of the consumers towards more healthy and sustainable food products. The current growth in plant-based diets is due to the magnitude of increased awareness of health benefits attributed to plant-based diets that consist of improved digestion, decrease in cholesterol, and prevention of chronic diseases. Moreover, an increased adoption of the veganism, flexitarianism, and vegetarian diets in major cities is also affecting the development trends of food industries in their production of new plant-based products by both local and international food manufacturers. Supermarkets, convenient stores, and restaurants throughout Japan are adding plant-based meat alternatives, dairy substitutes as well as protein powders to their shelves. There is also the significant contribution of social media and food influencers to popularizing plant-based trends, which are thus more attractive to younger populations.

Another issue that has driven the rapid uptake of plant-based protein consumption is sustainability and environmental issues in Japan. As climate change, deforestation, and the environmental impact of animal farming concerns have become more topical, consumers become more likely to consume protein sources with a low rate of the ecological impact. Pushes by government to consider sustainable food systems and investments by private sector in the field of food technology are fast-tracking the access and quality of plant-based products. Firms are also orienting on addressing the taste, texture, and nutritional quality to enhance the appearance to that of the traditional animal-based proteins, which also guarantee wider acceptance by the consumers. Japan has maintained a rich culture of innovation and innovation opportunities are currently finding their way into the market not just with new product launches but also integration of modern nutritional trends with cultural convenience, based on traditional Japanese ingredients such as soy, matcha and konjac.
