Japan Frozen Foods Industry Trends and Drivers:

The Japan frozen foods market is being driven with a steady increment by the change in lifestyle, household composition, and expanding meal preparation time. An aging population, as well as more single-person and working couples households, in Japan has led to high demand for food products that are quick and easy to prepare and eat, yet save time while not compromising on quality or nutrition. The long shelf life of frozen products, along with minimal preparation and the potential to reduce food waste, make an ideal combination that corresponds well with the practical mindset of Japanese food consumers. Freezing technology has advanced to the point that the quality and texture of frozen products are on par with fresh products, and more nutrients are retained with freezing than with longer storage at room temperature. This technological success has reversed the traditional attitude that frozen foods are inferior to fresh foods, leading to greater acceptance of younger and older consumers alike.

The market is also driven by the new product developments and variations, as the manufacturers are launching premium frozen foods, authentic ethnic dishes, health-focused products, and frozen gourmet products tailored for evolving tastes of the Japanese consumers. Developments in cold chain logistics and the growth of convenience store chains have also improved access to and the availability of frozen foods across the nation, even in remote locations. The COVID-19 pandemic boosted frozen food consumption in a big way as consumers hoarded nonperishable food products during quarantines and realized the convenience, and diverse array of items, the products bring to the table. Online shopping platforms and home delivery services have increased consumers’ access to frozen food, which is expected to further propel the market. Furthermore, increasing consciousness towards food security and reducing the number of times for grocery shopping are some of the factors that have strengthened the attractiveness of frozen food as a handy item for pantry. The foodservice industry (restaurants and catering) is increasingly turning to frozen ingredients to maintain consistency, minimize waste and control costs with these three factors combining to help the frozen food market in Japan enjoy such strong growth.
