Strong penetration of organized retail channels is fueling the market growth
- Dairy products are primarily sold through the off-trade retail channel in Japan. Supermarkets and hypermarkets account for the largest market share among off-trade channels, as they provide the added advantage of influencing the consumer's decision to purchase from a large variety of dairy products available in the market. As a result, this channel is considered the primary sales channel for dairy products, holding more than 62% of overall sales across the country.
- In Japan, convenience stores stand second in the sales of dairy products, behind supermarkets and hypermarkets. In 2022, the sales value of dairy products through convenience stores increased by 3.5% compared to 2021. Many convenience stores in Japan stay open longer than traditional retail stores, resulting in more time for the company's products to be sold.
- Dairy products are commonly used in authentic Japanese restaurants and foodservice channels, further boosting the market's growth. Major fast-food chains in Japan add milk, yogurt, and cheese to their menus. Dairy sales through the on-trade channel are anticipated to grow by 9.6% in 2025 compared to 2022. The growth may be aided by consumers preferring dining out or ordering takeout. As of 2021, 23% of consumers said they dined out about two to three times per month.
- Compared to other dairy products, yogurt accounted for the majority share in all retail channels. In 2022, yogurt accounted for 35% of the total category, and milk was in second place with 24.6% of the value share.

The rising demand for baked foods, like pizza, baked macaroni with mortadella, and other cheese-based products, is boosting the demand for cheese in the country

- The rising demand for baked foods, including pizza, baked macaroni with mortadella, and other cheese-based products, is boosting the demand for cheese in the country.

Japan Dairy Industry Segmentation
Butter, Cheese, Cream, Dairy Desserts, Milk, Yogurt are covered as segments by Category. Off-Trade, On-Trade are covered as segments by Distribution Channel.
- Dairy products are primarily sold through the off-trade retail channel in Japan. Supermarkets and hypermarkets account for the largest market share among off-trade channels, as they provide the added advantage of influencing the consumer's decision to purchase from a large variety of dairy products available in the market. As a result, this channel is considered the primary sales channel for dairy products, holding more than 62% of overall sales across the country.
- In Japan, convenience stores stand second in the sales of dairy products, behind supermarkets and hypermarkets. In 2022, the sales value of dairy products through convenience stores increased by 3.5% compared to 2021. Many convenience stores in Japan stay open longer than traditional retail stores, resulting in more time for the company's products to be sold.
- Dairy products are commonly used in authentic Japanese restaurants and foodservice channels, further boosting the market's growth. Major fast-food chains in Japan add milk, yogurt, and cheese to their menus. Dairy sales through the on-trade channel are anticipated to grow by 9.6% in 2025 compared to 2022. The growth may be aided by consumers preferring dining out or ordering takeout. As of 2021, 23% of consumers said they dined out about two to three times per month.
- Compared to other dairy products, yogurt accounted for the majority share in all retail channels. In 2022, yogurt accounted for 35% of the total category, and milk was in second place with 24.6% of the value share.
