Medical Japan Osaka

Medical Japan, the Japan International Medical Exhibition, is the country’s largest comprehensive event for the medical and healthcare industries. Organized by Reed Exhibitions Japan, it enjoys strong support from various organizations and government bodies, including Japan’s Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare; the Kansai Wide-Area Association, representing seven prefectures and four cities (with Japanese prefectures comparable to Chinese provinces); as well as the Japan Medical Device Industry Federation and the Pharmaceutical Association, among others. Held annually in Tokyo and Osaka, the exhibition comprises seven specialized sub‑exhibitions: Hospital Expo, Elderly Care & Welfare Expo, Clinics Expo, Pharmacy Solutions Expo, Infection Prevention Expo, Japan Wellness & Health Expo, and Healthcare Digital Transformation EXPO—covering the entire spectrum of the healthcare sector. Serving as an ideal platform for companies seeking to enter the Japanese market, Medical Japan is a crucial gateway for businesses looking to expand into Japan’s—and Asia’s—medical, elderly care, and pharmaceutical industries. 
In 2025, MEDICAL JAPAN will welcome over 400 exhibitors from around the world and attract more than 14,000 industry professionals, including importers, wholesalers, medical device manufacturers, hospitals, and related specialists. The exhibition covers a broad range of sectors—medical devices, healthcare equipment, elderly care, and the pharmaceutical industry—providing a premier platform for industry experts to exchange ideas and showcase cutting-edge technologies and products.

The third-largest market with a large number of medical facilities: In 2024, Japan’s healthcare market was valued at approximately USD 573.6 billion, accounting for 9.3% of the global market—trailing only the United States (30.7%) and China (19.4%). 
Large-scale import of medical devices: The Japanese medical device market is heavily reliant on imported products, with annual import values reaching a substantial level. These imports span multiple sectors, including medical equipment, diagnostic devices, and reagents, underscoring the Japanese market’s strong demand for high‑quality international products. 
An Aging Society and Healthcare Needs: Japan has the highest proportion of elderly people in the world. According to the latest population statistics released by Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications as of September 15, 2025, the number of residents aged 65 and over reached 36.19 million, accounting for 29.4% of the national population—a record high. With the growing elderly population, demand for elderly care, nursing, and rehabilitation equipment continues to rise, further driving the expansion of the healthcare sector.
