Regional Outlook
Gene therapy is gaining ground across Japan’s major regions:
Kanto (Tokyo area) is home to the country’s top biotech startups and major pharmaceutical headquarters, where most clinical trials and regulatory activities are coordinated.
Kansai (Osaka, Kyoto) is becoming a center for regenerative medicine and gene editing research.
Kyushu and Tohoku are witnessing the emergence of research hubs focused on neurological and inherited diseases.
Chubu and Hokkaido are showing interest in gene therapy logistics and delivery systems, including ultra-cold storage and transportation networks.
This regional expansion minimizes bottlenecks and encourages localized innovation, positioning Japan as a leader in the APAC gene therapy market.

Latest Developments
In July 2023, Japan's Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) approved Novartis' Luxturna to treat inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs) caused by biallelic mutations in the RPE65 gene. This gene therapy is now accessible in Japan for individuals affected by this rare genetic disorder.
Latest News from Japan
New Approval for Rare Disease Treatment
Japan’s drug regulators recently approved a new gene therapy for children suffering from a rare form of muscular dystrophy. This treatment is designed for a specific subset of patients and has been approved with a limited license for ongoing data collection. Japan’s conditional approval process allows patients faster access to innovative therapies while ensuring long-term safety and effectiveness.
Expansion of Clinical Trials
More gene therapy clinical trials are being launched in Japan than ever before. Hospitals and research institutions are now working with pharmaceutical partners to test new therapies for inherited blood disorders, eye diseases, and neurological conditions. This increase in trials is helping to build a stronger evidence base and more local data for regulatory decisions.
Cold Chain Innovations
Japanese companies are also leading the way in solving one of gene therapy’s toughest logistical challenges: maintaining ultra-cold storage conditions during transit. A successful long-distance delivery of sensitive gene therapy products, maintained at sub-zero temperatures, was recently completed, demonstrating Japan’s readiness for global therapy distribution.
Experts Thoughts:
The gene therapy market in Japan is no longer a future vision it’s a thriving, rapidly growing field that holds promise for transforming how chronic and rare diseases are treated. With strong government support, world-class researchers, and an eager medical community, Japan is uniquely positioned to become a global leader in gene therapy development.
The parallel developments in the U.S. reinforce the idea that gene therapy is going global, and Japan is playing a crucial role in this transformation. From regulatory speed to scientific rigor and infrastructure readiness, Japan is laying the foundation for a healthier, gene-powered future.
