SUZUMO supports the spread of Japanese food globally
The global boom of onigiri and sushi – Japanese food culture has been garnering attention.
In recent years, rice dishes originating from Japan, such as onigiri and sushi have been penetrating into daily dining tables, mainly in North America and Asian countries.
According to a trend survey by JETRO, there will be more than 23,000 Japanese restaurants in the United States as of 2023. Major convenience stores and supermarkets are expanding their selection of Japanese prepared foods, and demand for onigiri and sushi is growing, especially in urban areas.
Against the backdrop of this global trend, inquiries to SUZUMO are steadily increasing. The number of inquiries from overseas in 2023 increased by approximately 1.3 times compared to 2022, and this trend has continued even after the launch of a dedicated website for North America in 2024 and the full renewal of the SUZUMO website (domestic and global) in 2025.
According to market information from Global Information Co., Ltd., the global sushi restaurant and kiosk market is expected to reach US$10.05 billion in 2024, US$10.52 billion in 2025, and US$13.35 billion in 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.84%. In addition, the global market for instant onigiri is expected to reach US$946.7 million in 2023 and US$1.4823 billion in 2031, with a CAGR of 5.76% from 2024 to 2031. These data suggest the growth potential of Japanese food in the global market. Behind this rapid market expansion is the growing international reputation of Japanese food as healthy and sustainable, and the growing need for a manufacturing system that combines reproducibility and labor-saving due to the global labor shortage and stricter hygiene standards.
In response to these challenges, SUZUMO has already established a track record of introducing its products, such as sushi robots, rice serving machines, and IoT-compatible line equipment to over 90 countries, and supports Japanese food globally with a product lineup that combines Japan’s rice food culture with technological capabilities for solving on-site problems.
※JETRO Trend Survey: Number of Japanese restaurants in the United States has increased 1.6 times in the past 12 years to 23,000.
