Industrial Report (C) JETRO Japan Economic Monthly, August 2005
Industrial Report (C) JETRO Japan Economic Monthly, August 2005 Trends in the Pharmaceutical Industry Japanese Economy Division Summary The nature of Japan’s pharmaceutical market is changing. The market for generic drugs in Japan has been expanding in recent years. Major Japanese pharmaceutical companies have undertaken mergers and restructuring, and an increasing number of foreign pharmaceutical companies have entered the Japanese market recently by establishing joint ventures with Japanese drug companies or granting distribution rights for their products to Japanese firms. 1. Market Overview The Japanese pharmaceutical industry, buoyed by a rise in income levels and growing awareness about hygiene after World War II, has grown gradually in line with Japanese industry. The introduction of universal health insurance coverage in April 1961 triggered a soaring increase in domestic demand for medicines. The brisk development of new medicines based on technologies introduced from the West has enabled the industry to respond more quickly to market needs. As a result, the Japanese pharmaceutical industry is now second only to that of the United States. In recent years, however, Fig. 1-1 Japanese Market Share of Generic Drugs (GE/total drugs) the financial situation (%) Value Quantity basis surrounding health insurance has (Drug price basis) become strained due to increasing 1999 4.7 10.8 medical costs shouldered by the 20024.8 12.2 2003 5.2 16.4 government, owing to the aging Source: Japan Generic Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association population, advances in medical Fig. 1-2 Market Shares of Generic Drugs in Main Countries technology and the development (2002) of new medical equipment.

In order to promote the utilization of hydrogen in Japan, it is essential not only to produce hydrogen domestically, but also to import large volumes of hydrogen from cost competitive areas. To materialize large volume of imports, it is important to build supply chains from import terminals to demand locations, and to put priority on identifying challenges and find its solutions. Building on the previous study of potential hydrogen demand in Chubu region by the Hydrogen Utilization Study Group (“Study Group”) conducted in February 2021, this Study will focus on developing a large-scale hydrogen supply chain.
