Japan represents the eighth largest market for generic drugs in the world. The latest report by IMARC Group titled, “Japan Generic Drug Market: Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2017-2022”, finds thatthe Japan generic drug market reached a value of nearly JPY91 Billion in 2016, growing at a CAGR of almost 3.5% during 2010-2016. Generic drugs offer the same dosage, strength, quality, form, effect, intended use, side-effects, route of administration, therapeutic effect, etc. As compared to the other developed regions such as the United States and Europe, the generic drugs market in Japan has witnessed a lower penetration rate.
The major cause of the sluggish growth of this industry is the lack of confidence in the credibility and quality of generic drugs. Subsequently, the branded drugs are more preferred among the physicians and the consumers. Generic drugs also remained less popular in Japan owing to the lack of generic substitution rights for Japanese pharmacists, slower review times in the drug approval process and difficulties in working with major pharmaceutical distributors – many of whom were closely tied to major branded drug manufacturers.
