Japan’s organic market

Significant potential for further growth

The market size of the Japanese organic food market is steadily growing. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries published in September 2024 that the estimated size of the national organic food market was 224 billion Yen in 2022, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4% between 2017 and 2022. Japan’s low share of arable land leads to high demand for imported organic food and beverages.

More and more Japanese consumers are re-thinking their lifestyles in relation to Japan’s Sustainable Development Goals by integrating environmentally friendly and sustainable goods into their lifestyles. This may have been largely triggered by the G20 Summit in Osaka 2019. Awareness of organic as a concept is on the rise and international organic products are considered to be of premium quality. More than 32% of the Japanese consumers use at least once a week organic food. This figure has almost doubled in the past 5 years.

Further positive impulses are expected as more and more supermarket chains are getting into the organic trade. Also the rising organic e-commerce is facilitating the distribution of organic food all over the country. The launch of the “Organic Village” project by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF) has the target to stimulate the growth of the organic share to 25% by 2050.
