   Leading events organiser, UBM Live announces that CPhI Japan

[http://www.cphi.com/japan/home ] is returning for its twelfth year to Tokyo,

from the 9th to the 11th April, 2014. The event will once again be co-locating

to provide an all-round experience, creating a pivotal meeting-point for all

sectors of the pharmaceutical industry. The full line-up of events includes

ICSE Japan, a dedicated outsourcing event designed to connect the

pharmaceutical community with contract service providers; P-MEC Japan,

delivering innovative pharmaceutical technology, machinery and equipment to a

forum of decision makers; BioPh Japan, showcasing the biopharma sector, and a

further two events- Pharmatec, providing a pharmaceutical packaging focus and

MEDTEC Japan, specialising in medical devices.

   Japan is the second largest pharmaceutical market in the world and has been

forecast to grow even further at a CAGR of 2.6% until 2016, reaching a total

value of US$127.4 billion. The pharma community in the country continues to

innovate, particularly in regards to medical devices, with growth facilitated

through a reduction in stringent regulatory guidelines. These factors have

enabled the Japanese pharma market to open up to foreign investment, meaning

that there has never been a better time to attend CPhI Japan and its co-located

events.

   Last year the event hosted over 14,000 attendees and more than 500

exhibitors, with 2014 predicted to be even bigger and better.

A major highlight for this year's event is again the 150 free seminars covering

current industry trends and providing invaluable insights into the dynamic

Japanese pharmaceutical industry. Contributors to the seminars include a wide

spectrum of esteemed representatives including the Ministry of Health, Labour &

Welfare Japan and the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries &

Associations Japan (EFPIA Japan).  

   Furthermore, exhibitors are invited to take part in this year's presentation

series, to educate the industry about their latest products, services,

innovations and company news during a 30-minute presentation that will be

attended by visitors, press and fellow exhibitors. Online registration to

attend the event is now available and is free.

   "The Japanese pharmaceutical market is second only to the US, representing

one of the strongest areas for those looking to invest. More recently, Japan

has seen more amicable regulatory guidelines, which has generated an attractive

platform for international investment and our event provides the ultimate

setting for both suppliers and buyers to benefit from this dynamic market,"

Chris Kilbee, Group Director, CPhI & Pharma.
