Dementia Related Products and Services in Japan: Key Research Findings 2025
Market Size for Dementia related Products and Services (Total of 7 Items) Forecast to Expand to 5.5 Billion Yen for FY2024 and to 27.0 billion yen by FY2030
Yano Research Institute (the President, Takashi Mizukoshi) has conducted a survey on the dementia related products and services market in Japan and has found out the trend by product segment, trend of market players, and future perspectives.
Market Overview
Supported by the increasing number of people suffering from dementia as they age and the advancement of AI and IT technologies, new healthcare (non-medical) products and services have been introduced to the market for dementia-related products and services. There are also several projects to develop medical devices such as Software as a Medical Device (or SaMD) to support diagnosis and Digital Therapeutics (DTx) used as medical devices to support treatment.
Medical devices that belong to the diagnosis and treatment area, such as SaMD for diagnostic support and DTx, are currently still in the research and development phase.
On the other hand, non-medical devices in the self-checking and care areas, such as IT cognitive testing services and electroencephalography (EEG) or neurotech-related services, are in the early market stage (introduction period), so the market for dementia-related products and services (7 items in total) is forecast to reach 5.5 billion yen in FY2024, based on company sales.
Noteworthy Topics
Many Dementia-Related Projects Underway to Develop Diagnostic Support SaMDs and DTx
There are nearly ten companies developing dementia-related SaMDs for diagnostic support (excluding the image analysis program). There are cases where multiple products are being developed by one company. Several diagnostic support SaMDs are projected to be launched around FY2028.
There are also approximately ten companies (including those in consideration) developing dementia-related DTx. There is one product in the verification (Phase III) trial stage and multiple products are in the proof-of-concept trials. DTx are also expected to be launched around FY2028.
Future Outlook
Products and services in the self-check and care areas are anticipated entering the growth phase. The market for dementia-related products and services (7 items in total) is forecast to reach 11.5 billion yen in FY2027.
With the full market launch of diagnostic support SaMDs and DTx expected around FY2028, the market for dementia-related products and services (7 items in total), combining the self-check and care area and the diagnosis/treatment area, is forecast to expand to 27.0 billion yen in FY2030, five times the size in FY2024.
