Rice, pasta and noodles in Japan is predicted to see only minimal growth in retail current value terms in the forecast period, while it is set to experience a decline in retail volume terms; this is primarily due to the poor performance of rice. Although rice enjoyed a positive performance in 2023, thanks to its price advantage, it is set to revert to a declining trend in volume and current value terms over the forecast period, due to the shift of consumer preference to other staple foods, such as bread and noodles, due to convenience, as well as the internationalisation of the Japanese diet.
Within rice, pasta and noodles, frozen noodles and instant noodles are set to maintain retail current value and volume growth over the forecast period. The number of dual-income and single-person households is expected to increase further.
With Japan facing an ageing and declining population, and due to a fair degree of maturity in rice, pasta and noodles, volume growth is set to be hampered over the forecast period. In addition, rising production costs in recent years, such as raw materials and energy and logistics costs, have made it difficult for manufacturers to maintain their profits.
