~Explaining the essentials for sustainable business management for Japanese medical-related companies~

Management challenges facing Japanese companies include labor shortages due to a declining birthrate and aging population, intensifying global competition, and delays in digital transformation. In particular, in recent years, there has been an urgent need to develop human resources and reform organizational culture to respond to advances in AI and automation. Furthermore, the development of long-term management strategies is required, and analyzing medium- to long-term issues and their current state of response is becoming increasingly important.

As such, Japanese companies face a variety of challenges. However, to achieve sustainability, companies must consistently increase sales. However, with Japan's declining birthrate and aging population, sales are certain to decline. Taking the example of medical-related companies, both large and small, the current financial difficulties facing medical institutions have placed a strain on the management of all medical-related companies, including medical equipment, medical products, and medical consumables.

How can we increase sales in this environment?

In conclusion, Japanese medical companies will likely need to expand overseas in the future in order to ensure their sustainability.

However, expanding and developing their business overseas is an extremely difficult task. First, you need to conduct market research in the country you're considering expanding into (probably costing hundreds of millions of yen), competitive research, on-site research, test sales, verify effectiveness, develop a business plan, obtain any necessary product approvals, establish sales channels, and if you're setting up an office there, work with local lawyers or other professionals to conduct research into foreign investment, open the store, assign staff, and secure a warehouse for products to sell. Simply put, all this effort and expense likely costs at least hundreds of millions of yen. Is it really possible for a Japanese company to incur such costs every time they expand overseas?

This would be extremely difficult for a Japanese company.

Now, let me explain our company.

In Japan, our services include consulting on the establishment of hospitals and clinics, post-opening operational support for medical institutions, sales of medical equipment and medical products, staffing for medical professionals, and the design and construction of medical facilities. We also operate similar businesses overseas. We currently operate in Southeast Asia, China, Mongolia, India, the Middle East, and Africa. A company brochure is attached. Please take a look.

Now, let me explain the details of our overseas medical equipment and medical product sales business. Our company sells medical equipment, medical products, hygiene products, and medical vehicles such as ambulances and medical examination vehicles. The medical equipment we sell includes radiology equipment, ultrasound equipment, endoscopic equipment, small devices, and a wide range of other medical equipment. We also sell almost all types of medical equipment and products for various medical specialties. We also source medical equipment and products internationally, purchasing and selling products from medical equipment and medical product manufacturers in various countries. One of our strengths is our ability to offer a wide range of products, from high-end to low-end.

I would like to talk about Africa, the subject of this article. I attended TICAD 9 last year and realized the great potential of the African market. I have attached a global population forecast, which predicts that Africa will be the second largest region in the world by 2050, accounting for 25% of the world's total population. We are expanding our sales channels from Western Africa, including Ghana and Benin, to Eastern Africa, Middle Africa, and Southern Africa. We have business partnerships with companies in various countries.

While our company currently primarily sells medical equipment and medical products, product supply in Africa is not keeping up with population growth. We are also receiving many orders for non-medical products. Companies considering doing business in Africa are encouraged to contact us.
