Japan is the world’s second largest producer of medical devices after the United States. It’s industry is driven by innovation and a constant need to reduce healthcare costs in its own system, arguably one of the most comprehensive healthcare systems in the developed world. Japan has the highest life expectancy worldwide.

Throughout Japan’s recent period of recession, the island nation’s medical device industry continued to thrive and develop posting consistent 7-8% annual growth. Today, in a strengthening economy, government reforms in healthcare such as the elderly residents health insurance are helping to fuel even stronger growth in domestic production of medical devices already valued at $30 Billion. Japanese medical device manufacturers have never been more pro-active in seeking new suppliers, technologies and techniques.

New opportunities are arising for international suppliers able to service the medical device industry in Japan. Future competitive pressure from developing economies such as China and India on Japanese medical OEMs is opening the supply chain to experienced companies from around the globe.

A variety of stand / booth spaces are available at MEDTEC. For exhibitors wishing an easy and cost effective way to enter the Japanese market we offer rigid wall stand packages ready equipped with spotlights, power outlets, carpets, basic furniture, and company name boards. For companies more established in the market we can offer great locations to construct a custom booth or stand.

The associated three-day MEDTEC conference features the latest information on both technical and regulatory issues facing today’s medical device manufacturers. Design and manufacturing engineers are able to choose the presentations of interest to them and register to attend on the MEDTEC JAPAN Web site, which will be available in both Japanese and English.
