According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Japan Generic Drug Market: Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2024-2032,” the Japan generic drug market size reached US$ 11.5 Billion in 2023. Generic drugs refer to pharmaceutical products that are bioequivalent to brand-name drugs in terms of strength, dosage form, route of administration, safety, efficacy, and quality. They are developed and marketed after the patent protection of the original brand-name drug expires. Generic drugs provide an affordable alternative to their brand-name counterparts, offering the same therapeutic benefits at a lower cost. In order to produce a generic drug, manufacturers demonstrate that it contains the same active ingredient(s) as the brand-name drug and meets strict quality standards set by regulatory authorities. The manufacturing facilities and processes for generic drugs must adhere to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) to ensure consistency, safety, and effectiveness. Generic drugs undergo a rigorous approval process, including comprehensive testing and evaluation to establish their bioequivalence to the brand-name drug, which means that they are absorbed and distributed in the body at similar rates, thus leading to comparable therapeutic outcomes. Moreover, generic drugs enhance market competition, which can drive down prices and improve overall healthcare affordability.
