Japan Frozen Foods Industry Trends and Drivers:


The Japanese frozen foods industry is in a steady growth due to the changing lifestyles of consumers, the need of the working population to have convenient meal alternatives, urbanization, and adoption of frozen items of the established Japanese food culture in various categories. Japanese market used to appreciate fresh foods and had a conservative attitude towards the needs of frozen foods, but this is no longer the case due to the increased quality, the increasing variety in products, and the awareness that frozen foods have the same level of nutritional value as fresh substitutes. The growing number of women entering the workforce and longer working hours has brought great need to time saving completed meal parts that can be conveniently obtained in frozen foods without being compromised in nutritional content or being less satisfying in their taste. The growing population of the elderly is a significant segment of the population who are interested in convenient and packaged frozen foods that offer the benefit of less preparation and the sufficient nutritional value that the aging population may have a lack of cooking, preparation, or appetite to prepare complex meals. Moreover, the demand of individual portion frozen products that reduce waste and offer a convenient solution to individuals living alone or having a hectic timetable is predetermined by single households and the low size of families typical of the contemporary Japan.


The technological advancements in the marketplace are in the form of innovation of new techniques of freezing, preservation ways of packaging, and formulation of the product that is greater in quality, shelf life, and user experience than the previous generations of frozen food. Vacuum packaging, modified atmosphere packaging and novel technologies in freezing such as cryogenic freezing preserve nutrient content, texture and flavor quality that can compete with fresh products and increase shelf life. The introduction of the frozen food items that are not just limited to the classic frozen food but extend to prepared foods, ethnic foods, high-end, and health-conscious products with lower sodium content, organic, or functional products are diversified and therefore appeal to a wider range of consumers as well as demographic groups. The growth in e-commerce and the subscription box businesses that offer curated frozen food subscriptions have increased accessibility and have exposed consumers to products and brands that were not offered via the traditional retailing methods. Moreover, the pandemic predisposed the consumption of frozen foods in categories of the population that used fresh products previously, which established behavioral effects that contributes to market growth. The high usage of frozen ingredients in the food service industry to control costs, consistency, food safety, and operational efficiency leads to the presence of institutional demand that supplements the retail consumer purchases. Moreover, its food safety standards and the quality consideration of its manufacturers have kept the frozen foods at the premium level, which enhances the maintenance of price and profitability and fosters the consumer confidence of the products, thus the reliability.
