Pharmaceuticals in Japan

Although many Japanese physicians continue to prescribe traditional Kanpō medicine (a derivative of traditional Chinese medicine) and the majority of Japan’s pharmaceutical companies are small, independent manufacturers of herbal remedies, Japan’s pharmaceutical industry is, in fact, the second largest in the world. Previously an internalised industry, Japanese firms are now fighting for prominence alongside foreign companies within Japan, like Pfizer. The largest Japanese company - Takeda - recently acquired Nycomed, a European corporation, and exposed the aims of many pharmaceutical companies in Japan: global expansion. They are now shifting their focus from R&D (Research and Development) to market resource investments and moving their facilities overseas.

With over 50% of clinical trials taking place abroad, the pharmaceutical industry is now hugely globalised and thus, multi-lingual. The numerous regulations and controls governing research stages, like animal-testing and the processes behind clinical trials, differ from country to country and language obstacles may also arise in this area. Certainly, the Japanese Pharmaceutical Industry and Laws are very specific and are ruled by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, requiring specialist knowledge.  In this fast-paced, ever-expanding industry, communication needs to be effective and culturally-informed, and information must be transmitted accurately.
