According to Technavio analysts, one of the key factors contributing to the growth of the global wasabi market is the increasing demand for Japanese cuisine:
Global wasabi market: Increasing demand for Japanese cuisine
Japanese cuisines are popular for the various health benefits they are believed to promote. The global Japanese food boom started with sushi in the 1970s and spread throughout the US riding on a health-conscious trend. Sushi then spread to Europe and gradually throughout the world. The popularity of Japanese food outside of Japan experienced qualitative changes over time, and demand began to surge for more realistic Japanese food. Strong demand is a major driving factor for the global wasabi market as wasabi is among the key ingredients used in sushi, sashimi, and other Japanese food.
According to a senior analyst at Technavio for research on food, “Apart from increasing demand for Japanese cuisine, other factors boosting the growth of the global wasabi market are increasing awareness about the health benefits of wasabi, the rise in demand for nutritious foods, and growth in the imitation of wasabi products.”
