In 2023, the per capita volume of crustaceans in Japan stood at a stable level before entering a slightly declining trend in the forecasted period from 2024 to 2028. The per capita volume is expected to decrease from 5.88 kilograms in 2024 to 5.75 kilograms by 2028. This reflects an annual average decline of approximately 0.5% over these years. The downward trend suggests a modest reduction in consumption, likely influenced by factors such as changing dietary preferences or economic conditions.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainability, impacting demand for responsibly sourced crustaceans. Additionally, economic factors and competition from alternative protein sources may further influence consumption patterns in Japan.
