The Baby Food Sector in Japan 2018

"The Baby Food Sector in Japan, 2018", is an analytical report by Publisher which provides extensive and highly detailed current and future market trends in the Japanese market.

Although baby food is expensive by international standards, it remains affordable to most mothers, but the market has been plagued by steeply declining birth numbers. Value sales have been static as a result of deflation and a decline in consumption of milks, the most expensive category. Volume sales have risen a little, growth mostly coming from meals and drinks, but milks have been negatively affected by rising breastfeeding rates and bad publicity. The market relies almost totally on domestic production. A handful of local manufacturers (Meiji, Wakodo, Morinaga Milk, Kewpie, Pigeon and Snow Brand Beanstalk) have dominated the market since its inception. Imports are negligible, but exports have increased strongly since 2013. The top three manufacturers accounted for 68.3% of 2017 market value. The withdrawal of Meiji from the non-milk categories in 2016 boosted the shares of most of its competitors. Pharmacies and drugstores continue to account for a significant share of value sales, thanks to their importance in milks, but specialist baby stores have seen their share rise. Supermarkets and hypermarkets (including their online shopping sites) are particularly important in urban areas, and now form the most important channel. Against the backdrop of a continuing fall in the number of births and low price rises, retail sales are not expected to show much growth in real terms between 2017 and 2023. Consumption is predicted to increase marginally.
