The iodine market in Japan is augmented to grow tremendously in the coming years owing to several factors such as rising demand for organic foods and fortified products, government initiatives, and the increasing popularity of plant-based diets. The market's growth is, however, affected by some obstacles like fluctuating prices of raw materials and regulations concerning the use of iodine in food products.
According to 6Wresearch, the Japan Iodine Market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% during the forecast period 2023-2029. The rising demand for iodine is due to its numerous applications across various industries. In Japan, the food and healthcare sectors are the major end users of iodine. The increasing need to fulfil iodine deficiency and its implications on human health has increased the organic foods and fortified products, which, in turn, has surged the iodine Japan Iodine Market growth. However, the market consists of certain challenges. One such is the fluctuating prices of raw materials, which adversely affect the profit margins of manufacturers. Additionally, the stringent regulations concerning the use of iodine in food products and the offering of substitute products like iodized salt and supplements can hamper the iodine demand. Despite these challenges, several trends have emerged that are shaping the iodine market. The increasing demand for natural, organic, and clean-label products has boosted the production of iodine supplements derived from organic sources. The increasing popularity of plant-based diets, which exclude seafood and seaweed, has contributed to the demand for alternative iodine sources.
The government is involved in regulating iodine consumption to ensure public health. One such initiative is the Food Sanitation Act, which has sets standards for the use of iodine in food products. The ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare (MHLW) has also made mandatory all salt to be iodized to address the iodine deficiency issues. The government's involvement in raising public awareness on the importance of iodine has contributed to the increase in demand for iodine. These initiatives are supporting the growth of the Japan Iodine industry.
The market has several leading players operating seamlessly. Some of them are Nippoh Chemicals, Toho Earthtech, and Cosmo Oil are among the leading manufacturers of iodine compounds in Japan. The companies provide some products such as inorganic iodine compounds, iodine derivatives, and specialty iodine chemicals for various applications.
According to Dhaval, Research Manager, 6Wresearch, each form has its advantages, but the organic iodine compounds are in the lead in the market owing to their stability and safe application in the medical field.
Based on the application, X-ray contrast media and pharmaceuticals are the major applications segments of iodine in Japan, accounting for most of the Japan Iodine Market share.
