Wagyu Beef Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The increasing production and trade of wagyu beef are notably driving the wagyu beef market growth, although factors such as the premium price of wagyu beef may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the wagyu beef industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help deduce end goals and refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Wagyu Beef Market Driver
The growing inventory of wagyu beef in Japan is estimated to drive the wagyu beef market during the forecast period. The increase in the production of Wagyu beef can reduce the gap between supply and demand and increase consumption which can drive the market during the forecast period. The increased production is a result of several initiatives by governments to promote wagyu production. In May 2020, the Government of Japan announced that it would issue support payments to Wagyu beef cattle producers under the Beef Livestock Stabilization Program, also known as Marukin. Under the program, the government will pay wagyu cattle producers 90% of the difference between production costs and revenue, which is recalculated monthly. Such initiatives drive the production of Wagyu beef and will drive the market during the forecast period.
Key Wagyu Beef Market Trend
Increasing innovations is one of the major trends influencing the wagyu beef market growth. Innovations and the use of technology are the latest trends in the global Wagyu beef market. Globally, several research activities are underway to develop meat in laboratories using cell culture technology. JUST, a US-based cell-cultured meat company signed a deal with Toriyama, one of Japan's leading beef producers, which specializes in rearing cows that provide Wagyu beef cuts to develop cell-cultured Wagyu beef products. Innovations are also seen in incorporating effective traceability of the meat throughout the supply chain to assure the consumer of the meat's quality as well as adherence to standards on meat production and distribution.
Key Wagyu Beef Market Challenge
The premium price of wagyu beef is one of the key challenges faced by the wagyu beef market. Wagyu beef is estimated to be around three times the cost of other types of beef. The premium price discourages price-sensitive consumers and can affect the growth of the market during the forecast period. 100% full-blood wagyu is available in limited quantities, especially in countries like the US. Due to the exclusive taste profile, wagyu beef types, such as Kobe beef, are gaining popularity across the world. Kobe beef is used in some of the premium dishes in several fine dining restaurants. The premium prices of wagyu can be attributed to tough wagyu cattle-raising processes. Wagyu cattle have an inherent marbling gene, a unique component in its DNA that lends itself to cultivating the delicate and rich marbling wagyu is famed for. For this gene to turn on, wagyu must be raised in an environment that eliminates stress as much as possible. Skilled wagyu ranchers give their cattle individual care and implement practices that create a conducive environment.
