An increasing number of Japanese companies are acquiring licenses to the CRISPR-Cas9 technology, potentially driving market growth. For instance, in July 2021, ERS Genomics declared a license agreement with Nippon Gene to grant Nippon gene access to ERS Genomics’ CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing portfolio.

Efforts undertaken by government agencies to boost development of genetically modified food products are anticipated to accelerate utilization of genome editing technology in product development methods. For instance, in December 2019, the Consumer Affairs Agency (CAA) declared that foods made using genome editing techniques are not required to undergo safety inspections.

In addition, increasing prevalence of genetic diseases and diabetics coupled with growing genomic research initiatives is expected to drive the market in Japan. In Japan, around 13.5% of the total population either has type 2 diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance. More than 12 million Japanese people suffer from hyperglycemia.
