According to a new report by Intel Market Research, the global Sushi Restaurants market was valued at USD 22.5 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 35.8 billion by 2034, expanding at a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period. The market growth is being fueled by increasing consumer preference for healthy dining options, growing popularity of Japanese cuisine worldwide, and rising urbanization that continues to boost foodservice accessibility.
Sushi restaurants specialize in Japanese culinary offerings centered around sushi, a dish made with vinegared rice combined with seafood, vegetables, and other ingredients. The market includes traditional sushi restaurants, conveyor belt (kaiten-zushi) chains, and fusion sushi concepts serving dine-in, takeout, and delivery customers across global markets.
The increasing awareness of nutritious food choices is significantly contributing to market expansion, with consumers increasingly choosing sushi as a low-calorie, high-protein meal option. The growing popularity of pescatarian and flexitarian diets is further strengthening demand.
