The rising prevalence of lactose intolerance in Japan coupled with the increasing risk of osteoporosis associated with ageing population is expected to raise the demand for plant-based milk in the country in the coming years. As per the statistical data released by the World Bank, percentage of aged population in Japan rose from 27% in 2017 to 29% in 2019, which indicates a high probability of the Japanese population suffering from osteoporosis.
Growing consumer awareness regarding the need to reduce animal cruelty and rising awareness regarding the need for high protein intake among the health-conscious Japanese consumers should escalate the demand for plant-based dairy products, thus propelling market growth in the country in the coming years Soy is a widely preferred as an ingredient for manufacturing dairy alternatives in Japan over the past few years.
This is mainly attributed to health benefits of soy such as reduced risk of heart diseases, cancer and ability to improve bone health, among others. Moreover, the implementation of the FOSHU (Foods for Specified Health Use) certification in Japan which approves the use of the basic components of soy milk including soy proteins and isoflavones is likely to encourage dairy alternative manufacturers to opt for soy as an ingredient in manufacturing dairy alternative products, thus fostering market growth.
