Description

This comprehensive analysis examines Japan's paradoxical position in global pharmaceutics: a technological powerhouse in automobiles and electronics that remains a minor player in pharmaceutical development, despite being the world's second-largest consumer of prescription drugs. The book traces the industry's trajectory from post-Second World War reconstruction through contemporary challenges, offering crucial insights into why Japan has become heavily dependent on imported pharmaceutical discoveries. Readers gain understanding of the structural, economic, and policy factors that shaped Japan's pharmaceutical sector, including the pivotal role of antibiotics in early industry formation. Published by Routledge as part of their Studies in the Growth Economies of Asia series, this work provides scholars, policymakers, and industry professionals with essential context for understanding Japan's unique position within global pharmaceutical markets and the barriers preventing greater domestic innovation and competitiveness.
