Spirits Market in Japan

Spirits/Alcohol

The spirits industry is highly regulated from food safety to labelling to recycling and in order to import and sell liquor in Japan, licences are required. Thus, entering the Japanese market can seem daunting and it is often a sensible choice to work with a local partner or a locally established distributor or importer. With this background, the report aims to provide an overview and insights into the Spirits market in Japan.

Cheese Market in Japan

Cheese

The cheese market is facing some challenges, such as the declining and ageing population. This affects not only the consumer base but the manufacturers as well. Indeed, the majority of farmers and cheese manufacturers are small companies, whose main employees are mostly already over the retirement age. The current inflationary context is an additional burden to consumers and manufacturers alike. With this background in mind, the "Cheese Market in Japan" report is intended to provide an overview and insights into the cheese market in Japan.
