Japanese Household Demand Bounces Back as Wholesale Prices Fluctuate

Salmon Expenditure Sees Year-on-Year Recovery Amid Moderate Retail Price Increases

TOKYO — Fresh salmon consumption across Japanese households has demonstrated a resilient recovery, rebounding from the sharp declines observed last year. According to the latest household expenditure data released by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, consumer demand for both fresh and processed salmon products has seen a steady upward trajectory during the first four months of 2026.

Retail Trends and Household Consumption

Household volume metrics, measured per household with unit prices calculated per 100 grams, indicate a fluctuating yet positive trend. Monthly fresh salmon expenditure reached 156 grams in February and climbed to 171 grams in March, before easing slightly to 164 grams in April. Despite the month-on-month softening in April, the figure marks a significant year-on-year increase, achieving 111% of the volume recorded during the same month last year.

For the cumulative January–April period, fresh salmon consumption volume reached 646 grams, representing 109% of the 595 grams recorded during the prior year's corresponding period. Conversely, salted salmon demand remained relatively flat, totaling 390 grams for the first four months of the year compared to 398 grams a year earlier.

Combined household expenditure on both fresh and salted variants stood at 262 grams in April, marking a 7% increase (107%) over the 244 grams logged in April 2025. The cumulative January–April combined total reached 1,036 grams, up from 993 grams (104%) year on year.

Retail unit prices continue a moderate upward trajectory. The average January–April unit price for fresh salmon was ¥283 per 100 g (US$ 1.77), up from ¥264 in the previous year. According to the Ministry's Tokyo ward retail price tracking series, mid-May salmon prices stabilized at ¥556 per 100 g (US$ 3.47), showing no significant variation from April's ¥560 (US$ 3.50) benchmark.
