Insights into the Food Industry's Future: A Seminar by Uchida IT Solutions

On June 18, Uchida IT Solutions (ITS) will host an online seminar focusing on the latest trends in the food industry, dubbed "Food Industry Trends for 2026 and Revenue Reform Seminar - Achieving Sustainable Growth Through Trend Analysis and Cost Management."

In recent years, the food industry has experienced significant changes driven by soaring raw material costs, rising logistics fees, and increased consumer demand for savings. Despite an increase in revenue in 2025 due to higher product prices, there was a stagnation in sales volumes, presenting a critical challenge for businesses to ensure profitability moving forward. As we approach the uncertain landscape of 2026, companies must adapt strategically by accurately capturing market trends and consumer behaviors for sustainable growth.

During this seminar, attendees will reflect on the trends of the food sector in 2025 and delve into key points and emerging trends for 2026. Additionally, essential insights on cost management, which is crucial for securing profits, will be discussed, aiming to provide actionable recommendations for food companies striving for sustainable success.

Seminar Overview

The seminar will feature:

• - A review of the current state of the food industry and must-know trends for 2026
• - Insights from Mana Ohigashi, an expert from Yano Research Institute’s Food & Life Science Unit
• - Discussion on how rising costs of raw materials and logistics have impacted companies’ revenue and strategies for addressing profitability challenges.

In today’s economy, characterized by continuous price inflation and heightened consumer consciousness about spending, purchasing behavior is evolving. This shifting landscape has made it critical for businesses to remain agile and innovative. Unfortunately, despite sales revenue growth compared to the previous year, many companies are struggling with stagnant sales volume, which is primarily due to the inflated unit prices rather than increased demand. The persistent challenge of rising raw material and logistics costs further complicates the efforts for profitability.

The Importance of Cost Management Systems

As we think about the future, the introduction of cost management systems into food manufacturing becomes essential amidst rising raw material prices. In this seminar, Uchida IT Solutions will outline the fundamental features and potential benefits of its cost management system, providing detailed insights into how companies can enhance their competitiveness in a challenging market.
