Now Available: Japan Food & Drink Report Q4 2015

Japan's Q215 real GDP growth release was a mixed bag. In quarter-on-quarter terms the economy posted a large contraction of 1.6% in annualised, seasonally adjusted terms (q-o-q SAAR) dragged lower by weakness in private consumption and net exports. In year-on-year terms, though, the economy grew by 0.7% after four quarters of contraction. However, economically speaking, the demographic situation facing Japan is atrocious. We believe that this factor alone will ensure the economy fails to grow above 1.0% per annum over the coming decade. Japan's population has been in decline since 2004 and this is projected to intensify over the coming years. As a result, growth in the food, drink and mass grocery retail sectors will be minimal.
