Distribution partnership opportunities — Japan日本流通パートナー募集
SeniorDeli is seeking established Japanese distributors to bring IDDSI-aligned texture-modified food and thickened liquid products to Japanese care home and hospital channels.
The Japanese market opportunity日本市場概況
Japan's processed soft-meal and texture-modified food segment is valued at approximately ¥130–150 billion, driven by one of the world's most rapidly ageing populations. Institutional demand from care homes (特養、老健) and hospital convalescent wards continues to outpace domestic supply in compliant, international-standard products.
