This has encouraged the Government to promote the substitution of branded drugs with their generic variants. Japan Generic Drug Market Trends Both physicians and patients in Japan prefer branded drugs owing to the perceived inferiority of generics and a lack of incentives for their substitution. In line with this, the Ministry of Finance in Japan has introduced modifications in the prescription form as well as fee changes for pharmacists and prescribers.

Report Description Report Description and Highlights Apart from this, the Japanese Government is aiming to reduce brand loyalty among physicians by initiating several administrative and educational programs and by revising the reimbursement pricing for regular pharmaceutical products. In addition, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) has imposed measures to limit healthcare expenditure, such as the “Z2 rule” which revises the prices of targeted mature originator drugs annually, until generics account for around 60% of the total market volume. Moreover, the country has become more welcome to international generic manufacturers to increase competitiveness in the industry and further drive down prices. Several Japanese pharmaceutical companies are outsourcing the manufacturing of generics to countries such as India, to lower the overall production costs.
