Japan Seafood Industry Trends and Drivers:

The seafood market in Japan is considered as one of the largest and most advanced in the world due to the strong cultural attachment of the nation to seafood and the presence of abundant fishing fields surrounding this nation. Japanese are very keen on seafood as a main source of protein, and sushi, sashimi and other kinds of fish dishes are part of Japanese cuisine. The high quality of seafood in Japan is guaranteed by its developed fishing infrastructure, aquaculture technologies and cold-chain logistics systems that supply seafood in the whole country. Nutritional values of seafood, omega-3 fatty acids, and lean proteins have been widely known by the health-conscious consumer base, which is contributing to the long-term demand. Japan is also a world center of trade and processing of seafood, and it provides easy access to other marine products found in international waters.

Another trend that supports the market is the premiumization trend where people are ready to spend more on better quality, sustainably sourced, and traceable seafood products. With innovative fisheries and sustainability fisheries, Japan is solving the supply chain issues with its successful efforts to satisfy the environment. The rising popularity of Japanese cuisine around the world has generated export opportunities and local consumption patterns indicate that people have been increasingly favoring ready-made seafood products. The distribution channels of seafood are changing due to e-commerce platforms and direct to consumer delivery services. Additionally, the aging population and shifting household patterns in Japan are shifting the demand towards portion-control and easy-to-cook seafood products, thus generating emerging market segments and growth opportunities.
