New Market Report: Dairy Packaging in Japan

Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/29/2014 -- Cheese is expected to continue to increase in 2013, registering 3% current value growth. The continued growth is mainly due to the ongoing home dining trend, which was triggered by prolonged deflation, as well as by the earthquake and tsunami in 2011. In addition, whilst cheese has traditionally been perceived by Japanese consumers as a product to be eaten on its own or served with bread as a snack, many Japanese consumers started to use cheese as an ingredient in various recipes, ranging from pizza to Japanese and Chinese dishes, towards the end of the review period.
