PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Low-priced oils, and value-added oils, such as healthy and flavoured oils, set to drive growth
Due to prolonged increases in unit prices, a volume recovery for olive oil appears unlikely in Japan in the near future. Even by 2029, it is not expected that volume sales of olive oil will return to the levels seen in 2019, pre-pandemic, and retail volumes are likely to continue showing a negative trend.
Prices of edible oils to foodservice starting to fall
While consumer foodservice in Japan is showing signs of recovery, disposable incomes in the country have not been increasing, and simultaneously prices for dining out have been rising. As a result, many Japanese people are still dining out less frequently than they did before the pandemic, opting instead to manage their spending more carefully.
Introduction of products in paper cartons
J-Oil Mills and Nisshin OilliO increasingly offer a variety of their products in paper cartons in Japan, aligning with the growing trend towards plastic-free packaging. While these paper cartons still contain a layer of plastic film within their packaging, they are designed to reduce plastic usage by approximately 60% compared with traditional plastic bottles.
