Global Sushi Rice Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Sushi Rice market size is predicted to grow from US$ 7202 million in 2025 to US$ 10694 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2026 to 2032.
Sushi Rice refers to short-grain or medium-grain rice varieties specifically cultivated and processed to meet the texture, stickiness, moisture retention, and flavor requirements of sushi preparation. In 2025, the average global price of sushi rice is approximately US$1,150 per metric ton, with global sales volume reaching around 6.4 million metric tons and production volume estimated at about 6.7 million metric tons. The industry typically maintains a gross margin of 18%–32%, supported by varietal differentiation, origin labeling, milling quality, food safety compliance, and long-term supply contracts with foodservice operators. The supply chain includes upstream paddy rice cultivation, seed breeding, fertilizers, and agricultural inputs; midstream activities focus on rice milling, polishing, grading, blending, packaging, and quality inspection; downstream customers primarily consist of sushi restaurants, Japanese cuisine chains, foodservice distributors, ready-to-eat food manufacturers, and retail consumers.
According to industry analysis, sushi rice demand is increasingly driven by foodservice standardization and brand consistency rather than household consumption alone. Global sushi chains and ready-to-eat food producers prioritize stable grain performance, moisture control, and cooking yield, pushing suppliers toward contract farming, origin-specific branding, and tighter quality control systems.
