Wagyu beef is a category of beef originating from several breeds of Japanese cattle known for their genetic predisposition for intense marbling and a high percentage of unsaturated fat. Wagyu cattle are raised with particular care and attention to their diet, living conditions, and overall well-being, all contributing to the premium quality and distinctive flavor profile of Wagyu beef. An increase in disposable income and consumer demand for high-quality meat products and global culinary trends emphasizing unique dining experiences and exotic flavors increases the adoption of wagyu beef. However, the specific breeding, feeding, and care required for Wagyu cattle result in higher prices compared to other beef, which may limit the market expansion. Nevertheless, developing new Wagyu-based products to cater to different consumer preferences and implementing online sales platforms to reach consumers directly is expected to create potential opportunities for market growth.
