Global Miso Market to Reach USD 121.7 Billion by 2035 Amid Rising Demand for Functional and Natural Foods

The global miso market is experiencing steady growth, driven by rising consumer demand for traditional fermented foods and plant-based protein sources.

NEWARK, DE, UNITED STATES, May 20, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Global Miso Market to Reach USD 121.7 Billion by 2035 Amid Rising Demand for Functional and Natural Foods

The global miso market is poised for robust growth, projected to be valued at USD 77.0 billion by 2025, with total sales expanding at a 4.7% CAGR from 2025 to 2035. By the end of the forecast period, the market is expected to reach an impressive USD 121.7 billion, driven by a confluence of dietary trends, rising health consciousness, and culinary innovation.

A major growth catalyst lies in miso’s versatility and well-documented health benefits. Widely recognized for its probiotic properties, particularly in unpasteurized forms, miso has seen increased consumption as part of the functional foods movement. Consumers are increasingly drawn to its digestive benefits and role in gut health, making it a sought-after ingredient across age groups. At the same time, miso’s culinary adaptability and ability to impart a rich umami flavor have sparked its integration beyond traditional Japanese cuisine into global fusion dishes, plant-based recipes, and gourmet innovations.

As food processors pivot toward cleaner labels and natural flavors, miso is becoming a popular choice in sauces, soups, snacks, and even desserts. The ongoing global shift towards plant-based diets has further supported its appeal as a fermented, soy-based product that aligns with vegan and vegetarian lifestyles.
