Between the ages of 25 and 65, medical device consumption increases by 500% on average. With the world's most rapidly aging population, Japan is an established and growing market for device manufacturers. Regulatory changes now make it easier to serve this market directly, without losing control or profit through distributors, and many US manufacturers are now aggressively expanding in Japan.

However, keeping tabs on competitors' moves in the local market can be a challenge, since much of the published information is in Japanese only. According to Crimson President Marc H. Miller, "Helping US manufacturers monitor the Japanese medical device press is important, since it helps companies to better assess the competitive landscape."

To address this need, Crimson is now offering a free digest of Japanese-language medical device news, translated into English. Explains Miller, "Crimson has a long history of providing resources and information to the medical device industry. Our newly opened Tokyo office, combined with our clients' growth in Japan, made this a natural addition." Crimson's Japan Digest is available in the "Publications" section of the company's website: www.crimsonlanguage.com.
