Wasabi is usually served as a condiment with sushi or noodles in Japanese cuisines. Popular for its pungent and hot taste, wasabi is obtained by grating stalk or stem of a typical Japanese plant, known as rhizome or Wasabi Japonica. Due to several medicinal properties that wasabi offers, such as anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and other properties, this condiment is loved across the globe. The vast market prominence that wasabi has garnered over the years is predominantly increasing its market size.
The Wasabi market research is projected to grow from USD 0.43 Billion in 2023 to USD 0.81 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.21% during the forecast period (2023 - 2032)
Also, the increasing popularity of Asian cuisines is allowing the global wasabi market to grow at a rapid pace. According to a leading research firm, Market Research Future (MRFR), the global wasabi market is booming and expected to demonstrate a spectacular growth by 2032. In its recently published analysis, MRFR also asserts that the market would register a striking CAGR during the anticipated period (2023 – 2032).
Wasabi can help in countering foodborne illnesses/food poisoning. Its antibacterial effects can fight against H. pylori, a bacterium that infects the stomach & small intestine, that can lead to peptic ulcers which may further cause stomach cancer & inflammation of the stomach lining. Naturally occurring compounds in wasabi are called as ITCs and have been shown to exhibit anti-inflammatory effects and prevent the formation & growth of fat cells.
These ITCs have also been studied for their ability to inhibit acrylamide production and inhibit the growth of several types of cancer. Several researches are ongoing to find out if ITCs isolated from wasabi can be used in the treatments of osteoporosis & neurodegenerative brain conditions like Parkinson’s disease. Rhizome, the only raw material required to make wasabi is available in most convenience stores, but at a high price.
Factors such as high cost, fluctuations in the price, and the demand-supply gap in rhizomes are forecasted to impede the growth of the market, impacting the production cost severally. However, there is a relatively affordable way - wasabi powder which is sold at comparatively lower prices. Also, the wasabi powder is usually made with natural ingredients without additives or preservatives.
