Japan's plant-based protein import market in 2024 saw a significant increase in shipments from top exporting countries such as the USA, Denmark, Metropolitan France, and the UK. Despite the high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) indicating a very concentrated market, the industry experienced a negative Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2024. However, there was a remarkable growth spurt in 2024 with a growth rate of 117.84% compared to the previous year, showcasing a potential shift towards plant-based protein consumption in Japan.
