Luxury Hospitality Sector's Rapid Development to Drive Market Growth
Wagyu beef is typically served in restaurants of the highest caliber and symbolizes fine dining. Because of ongoing innovations and menu customization for customers, the food service industry has recently experienced tremendous growth.

High Price of Wagyu Beef is Limiting Market Growth
Wagyu beef is thought to cost about three times as much as other cattle varieties. The premium price deters consumers who are sensitive to price and may have an impact on market expansion during the projection period. 100% full-blood wagyu is only occasionally sold, especially outside of the U.S. Kobe beef and other varieties of wagyu beef are becoming increasingly well-liked worldwide because of their distinctive flavor profile. In several fine dining establishments, Kobe beef is used in some of the premium meals. The difficult wagyu cattle-raising procedures are the reason for the high wagyu prices. Because of a special gene in their D.N.A., wagyu cattle naturally have the delicate and rich marbling for which they are renowned. Thus, it is limiting the growth of the market.
