Description

The Japan poultry market size reached USD 20.5 Billion in 2025 . Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 28.0 Billion by 2034 , exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.52% during 2026-2034 . The increasing consumer demand for protein-rich, convenient, and affordable food options, rising health consciousness, innovations in poultry processing, and strong demand for value-added products such as ready-to-cook (RTC) and ready-to-eat (RTE) poultry items are among the key factors propelling the market growth.

JAPAN POULTRY MARKET TRENDS:

Rising Demand for Health-Conscious and Protein-Rich Foods

Japan's poultry market is undergoing a notable transformation driven by a shift in consumer preferences toward health-conscious and protein-rich diets. Poultry, known for its lean profile and affordability, has emerged as a favored alternative to red meats like beef and pork-particularly among health-aware consumers. This trend is especially prominent among Japan's aging population, which is expected to account for nearly 30% of the total population by 2025, according to the United Nations. Older adults are increasingly choosing nutrient-dense foods that support healthy aging, and poultry offers a low-fat source of high-quality protein, vital for heart health and muscle maintenance. Additionally, the growing popularity of alternate diets is indirectly boosting poultry consumption, encouraging dietary patterns that pair poultry with vegetables and legumes for balanced meals. Together, these factors are steadily driving demand for poultry as a versatile, health-oriented protein choice in Japan's evolving food landscape.

Advancements in Poultry Processing and Product Innovation

Advancements in poultry processing technologies and product innovation are significantly propelling the growth of Japan's poultry market. In response to shifting consumer preferences for convenience and healthier options, poultry companies are expanding their offerings with RTC, RTE, and processed items tailored to busy urban lifestyles. Technological innovations, such as automated deboning, enhanced meat preservation, and improvements in flavor and texture, have improved both product quality and production efficiency. This has enabled the large-scale rollout of value-added poultry products like marinated, pre-cooked, and fully cooked meals, including chicken salads and sandwiches, which now represent a growing share of retail poultry sales. Additionally, product diversification, including boneless, skinless cuts, portion-controlled packs, and healthier options like organic or reduced-sodium chicken, is appealing to single-person households and health-conscious consumers.
