Industry sales peaked in 1998 at ¥32.9 trillion but have trended down since, due to a fall in private and business expenditure for dining out. In 2009, sales values of most foodservice categories declined year-on-year, with the exception of fast food, school meals, hospitals, and take away food.
The Japan Foodservice Association forecasts continuing demand in take away/cooked meal services, on the back of an increase in smaller households and an aging population. It also anticipates consumers' ongoing interest in healthy food and a balanced diet.
