Market Overview

The Japan portable medical devices market focuses on compact, wearable, and mobile healthcare solutions designed for remote patient monitoring, diagnostics, and therapeutic applications.  One of the main factors propelling the market for portable medical equipment in Japan is the country's growing aging population. Japan has the greatest percentage of people 65 and older in the world, with almost 28% of the population being 65 or older, according to government figures. This group is more vulnerable to long-term conditions that need ongoing care. For example, according to a Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare survey, more than 10 million Japanese individuals suffer from diabetes, and more than 20 million have hypertension. To manage chronic illnesses at home, portable gadgets such as glucose meters and blood pressure monitors are crucial. According to a Japan Medical Association research, more than 60% of patients' hypertension control improved with frequent use of home blood pressure monitors.
