       Seizing the opportunity, Japan's pharmaceutical giants have gone global over the past 20 years, with most of their sales coming from overseas. Despite this, Japan is still the world's third largest drug market and the second largest market for innovative drugs. Japanese drug companies still have a high degree of dependence, especially those with less international ability.
      Because many Multinational pharmaceutical companies in Europe and the United States use local pharmaceutical companies as agents for marketing in Japan, only Pfizer, Gilead And Merck rank among the top 10 non-local pharmaceutical companies in Japan by sales volume. In fiscal year 2016 (April 2016-March 2017), daiichi Sankyo, Takeda, Astellas, Pfizer and Gilead Were the top domestic companies by sales.
