4 Overview of Research 1. Purpose of research These research aims at clarifying the status of production, import etc. of drugs, quasi-drugs, sanitary materials and medical devices. 2. Scope of research Business establishments that market or manufacture drugs, quasi-drugs, and/or medical devices, which are authorized respectively to market and manufacture drugs, quasi-drugs, and/or medical devices, as per provisions of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law*. Note that establishments that are categorized in the following business types are excluded from the scope of this research. (1) A manufacturer, or marketing authorization holder, of drugs that are produced by proprietors of pharmacies, using their own pharmacies equipment and/or apparatuses; (2) A marketing authorization holder of condoms and/or corrective lenses (excluding the import of packed products), which only market packed products, or such manufacturer which only undertakes packing of such products; and (3) A marketing authorization holder of absorbent cottons and/or gauzes, (excluding the import of packed products), which only market packed products, or such manufacturer which only undertakes packing of such products, as well as a marketing authorization holder, or manufacturer of sanitary treatment products (excluding products that only comprise absorbent cotton), which only market or manufacture large products. * The Pharmaceutical Affairs Law was revised on November 25, 2014, to the Act on Securing Quality, Efficacy and Safety of Pharmaceuticals, Medical Devices, Regenerative and Cellular Therapy Products, Gene Therapy Products, and Cosmetics. 3.

Statistics of export are also based on reports from marketing authorization holder offices of drugs, and from manufacturing plants of drugs, which signifies that trades by way of trading companies etc. are not identified. Research does not cover import and export of drugs other than final products (e.g. bulk, raw powder). Therefore, use of the following figures requires relevant precautions. 23
