The global market is booming, driven by the dynamism of Japanese restaurants in all regions of the world. Growth is particularly driven by Asia and North America, which have the largest number of Japanese restaurants. The United States has a mature market, where more than half of the population has already tried sushi. The market is growing but at a moderate pace, and the average American eats sushi 2.13 times a year. [Tastewise] Today, there are approximately 30,000 sushi restaurants in the United States. Finally, the effect of COVID-19 on the industry is mixed; restaurants in states that have implemented mobility restrictions have suffered tremendously from declining sales.
