Japan's meat consumption has been steadily increasing, as the country's urbanization and rising income levels lead to higher demand for animal protein. In 2023, Japan's regulatory environment surrounding food safety continued to evolve, with increased inspections and regulations governing feed ingredients, including additives. This regulatory framework encourages the adoption of safe and effective feed additives to prevent diseases, promote healthy growth, and improve the overall safety of meat products. For instance, the use of antimicrobial peptides and feed preservatives can help mitigate contamination risks in meat products.

As per FAOSTAT, Japan's cattle population in 2023 was estimated at around 4.4 million head, showing a steady increase from previous years. Of the total cattle, beef cattle (particularly the famous Japanese Wagyu breed) constitute a significant portion. The beef cattle population was estimated at 1.6 million head in 2023, reflecting steady growth driven by both domestic consumption and export opportunities. Feed additives, including amino acids, probiotics, and vitamins, are playing a critical role in improving feed efficiency, animal health, and meat quality. The industry is also seeing increased demand for sustainable and disease-preventing additives as the cattle population continues to grow.
