Regulated industries including pharma, medical devices


Every country regulates industries, some countries more, some countries less.

Surprisingly maybe, there are quite a number of industry sectors which are strictly regulated in the US and in some European countries, but not in Japan.

Heavily regulated industries in Japan include of course pharma industry and medical device industries, and financial industries, and many others.

Pharma industry and medical device industries are regulated, a range of approvals are necessary by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, in some cases by local governments, and by the Governmental regulator, the Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA).
