Report Summary
Although Japan still lags behind the United States, and much of Europe, in the development of its biotechnology sector, the country is
making considerable effort to develop biotechnology as a major industry. As a result, the Japanese biotechnology industry has been
making good progress in recent years. Much of the impetus has come from the Japanese government which has been providing
considerable support to foster this industry.
The industry's rapid development is a visible result of the close cooperation between the Japanese public and private sectors and
academia. In 2007, the total market size of the Japanese biotechnology industry was USD19.5 billion, a 10.8 percent increase over
2006. Currently medical biotechnology is the leading sub-sector.
Medical biotechnology products account for over 30 percent of the Japanese biotechnology market. Within medical biotechnology,
therapeutic antibodies have the highest growth potential. Japanese pharmaceutical companies are eagerly seeking new drug
candidates and pipelines, identified or developed by overseas biotech companies, which they can tap into in order to develop new
drugs.
Developing any new business venture is difficult. Taking a project from the initial idea through the operational stage is a complex and
time consuming effort. Before the potential members invest in a proposed business project, they must determine if it can be
