From October 1 to 3, 2025, the 8th Japan (Tokyo) International Medical Exhibition and Medical Industry Conference (MEDICAL JAPAN Tokyo 2025) grandly opened at Makuhari Messe in Chiba. As Japan's largest comprehensive medical and nursing industry event, this exhibition gathered 650 enterprises from 20 countries and regions around the world, covering the entire industrial chain including medical equipment, infection prevention and control, medical IT, and nursing supplies. It also set up seven professional exhibition areas to create a one-stop business platform, serving as a core hub for high-end technological exchanges and precise business matching in the industry. Yichang Hethcotn Medical Products Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Hethcotn") participated in the exhibition with its core medical consumables products. Relying on its excellent product quality, complete international certification system and rich overseas service experience, Hethcotn has become an outstanding representative of Chinese medical consumables enterprises deeply exploring the Japanese market.

Unprecedented Exhibition Scale, Focusing on New Trends in the Medical Industry

Organized by Reed Exhibitions Japan Ltd., MEDICAL JAPAN Tokyo 2025 received strong support from more than 80 government and industry organizations including Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Japan Federation of Medical Devices Associations, and Japan Medical Association. The exhibition scale hit a new high, attracting 18,000 professional visitors from the global medical field for negotiations. With the core theme of "Full-Chain Empowerment for Medical Ecosystem Innovation", in addition to traditional exhibition areas, the exhibition focused on building characteristic sections such as Medical DX·IT Exhibition and Infection Prevention Measures Exhibition. It also held 40 professional seminars, covering hot topics such as AI medical applications, upgraded infection prevention and control, and innovative care services, comprehensively presenting the cutting-edge development trends of the global medical industry.

As one of the world's top three healthcare markets, Japan has a market size of 573.6 billion US dollars, with imports accounting for more than 60% of the medical device market. Among them, the demand for disposable medical consumables and infection prevention and control products remains strong, providing broad business opportunities for high-quality overseas medical enterprises. As the core hub of Japan's medical industry, Tokyo gathers numerous top medical institutions, research institutes and large-scale medical consumables distributors. This exhibition has become an important bridge connecting global medical resources with Japan's mainstream market, bringing valuable opportunities for participating enterprises to face decision-maker purchasers and accurately meet cooperation needs.

Hethcotn Participates with Strength, Core Consumables Attract Attention

As a key enterprise under Wuhan Xinbangda Medical Group, Hethcotn has been deeply engaged in the medical consumables field for many years. This time, it exhibited core products such as disposable medical masks, medical combination kits, and disposable non-woven products. With its hard-core qualifications including EU CE, US FDA, and ISO13485 international medical device system certifications, as well as the successful case of supplying 30 million masks for the Tokyo Olympics, Hethcotn quickly gained great attention from on-site visitors and purchasers.

At the exhibition booth, Hethcotn's disposable medical masks became a focus product due to their core advantages meeting Japanese market demand. Holding the Hubei Medical Device Registration Certificate No. E20252145802, the product has passed EU CE, US FDA, and ISO13485 international medical device system certifications. Adopting a three-layer composite structure design, the inner layer is soft and skin-friendly, the middle layer provides high-efficiency filtration, and the outer layer is protective and wear-resistant. Equipped with an adjustable polyethylene nose clip and high-elastic mask straps, it balances excellent filtration performance, breathability and wearing comfort, which can accurately meet the protection needs of Japanese medical institutions for clinical non-invasive operations. In addition, products such as medical combination kits and disposable non-woven products also became popular categories for on-site purchasers' negotiations due to their standardized production processes, high cost performance and designs adapting to Japanese medical scenarios, especially gaining much attention in the Infection Prevention Measures Exhibition Area.

Deeply Explore Overseas Markets, Build Cooperation Foundation with Quality

Since its establishment, Hethcotn has always adhered to the development strategy of "Quality First, Global Layout". Relying on the large-scale production capacity and core technological advantages of its Zhijiang production base, it has rapidly expanded overseas markets. In just two years, its products have been exported to more than 100 countries and regions. From January to July 2021, only the masks exported to Japan reached over 90 million pieces, with sales revenue exceeding 40 million yuan. With stable quality and efficient services, Hethcotn has established a Chinese brand image in the global medical consumables market.

By participating in MEDICAL JAPAN Tokyo, Hethcotn not only comprehensively demonstrated its core product strength, but also actively participated in thematic seminars on infection prevention and control technologies and medical consumables compliance standards held concurrently with the exhibition, gaining a deep understanding of the latest regulatory requirements and market demand pain points in Japan's medical industry. At the exhibition site, relying on the successful case of supplying 30 million masks for the Tokyo Olympics and stable export performance to Japan, Hethcotn won the recognition of many large Japanese hospitals and chain medical consumables distributors, and reached a number of preliminary cooperation intentions, laying a solid foundation for further deepening the Japanese mainstream market and expanding the Asian business layout. A relevant person in charge of Hethcotn said that as a benchmark exhibition in Japan's medical field, the Tokyo Exhibition is an important stage to test the core competitiveness of enterprises. In the future, the company will continue to optimize its product system, meet the strict standards of the Japanese market for medical consumables, and contribute to the development of global medical and health undertakings with higher-quality products.

This industry event not only showed the innovative vitality of the global medical industry, but also built a bridge for in-depth integration between Chinese and foreign medical enterprises.
