Japan Orphan Drugs Industry Trends and Drivers:
The Japanese orphan drugs market is undergoing vigorous growth owing to the enabling nature of the regulatory environment in Japan as well as the rising awareness of unmet medical needs of patients with rare diseases. The Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) in Japan has adopted favorable policies that cover orphan drug designation, such as expedited reviews, longer market exclusivity and huge tax credits as an incentive to pharmaceutical companies to invest in rare disease research and development. The rising rate of diagnosis of rare diseases that previously were underdiagnosed due to the aging population of the country results in a high demand of specific treatments that mitigate these diseases. Also, the system of universal healthcare in Japan and the high reimbursement rates of orphan drugs guarantee patient access to such costly treatments, eliminating the financial barriers and promoting the market development of different types of rare diseases.
The development of technologies in precision medicine and genetic testing is transforming the process of identifying and treating rare diseases in Japan, allowing the application of a more precise diagnosis and treatment plan for the patient, which would positively affect patient-level outcomes and life quality. The increased partnership between Japanese pharmaceutical firms and foreign biotechnology is speeding up orphan drug development pipeline, introducing new therapies to the Japanese patients faster than ever in previous years. The robust research base and biotechnological experience in Japan and governmental programs aimed at the promotion of life sciences have made the country a promising market to developers of orphan drugs globally. In addition, efforts to raise patient awareness and advocacy are not only spurring better awareness about rare diseases among both healthcare providers and the general population, which is resulting in earlier diagnosis and improved compliance with treatment, but also is helping to promote further investment in orphan drug research and development in the oncology field and neurology among other fields.
