Japan Shrimp Industry Trends and Drivers:
The Japan shrimp market is anticipated to grow at a significant pace owing to the increasing consumption of seafood among the Japanese population, rising demand for the exotic & premium shrimp followed by the prevalent usage of shrimp in the Japanese cuisine the Japan. Shrimp is one of the most popular types of seafood in Japan, and can be found in classic Japanese dishes such as tempura and sushi (as well as many other preparations that show off the ingredient’s versatility and deliciousness). Furthermore, Japan’s position as one of the greatest shrimp importers in the world is also indicative of the fact that domestic production cannot satisfy the taste of consumers on the one hand and constantly a high demand on the other hand, which is so strong that it can only be met by imports from great shrimp producing nations in Asia and Latin America. The rising health consciousness of Japanese consumer has sustained the positive consumption of shrimp as it is a source of lean seafood protein with important nutrients and is less caloric than other meat substitutes.
The development of new retail channels including supermarkets, hypermarkets and convenience stores has increased the availability of shrimp with a higher degree of product diversification, thus providing consumers with a wide variety of shrimp species and sizes packaged in different formats from fresh and frozen products to ready-to-cook and value-added products. Foodservice, which includes restaurants, hotels and catering companies, is a significant channel of consumption and has complicated demands for quality to be uniform, a particular size and a consistent supply. In addition, consumers’ increasing awareness toward sustainable and responsible seafood has led to a surge in demand for certified shrimp products that comply to environmental and social criterias, including aquaculture certifications and traceability schemes. The growing popularity of online distribution platforms, such as e-commerce and online grocery platforms, has provided consumers with a pick-up and home delivery service for frozen and packaged shrimp products, while the high level of consumer expectations in Japan continued to motivate the development of new aquaculture technology, processing technology and cold chain technology leading to even higher quality, safer products with a longer shelf life, not to mention a market where traditional eating styles meet with the needs of the next generation for convenience, quality, and sustainability.
