in-PHARMA JAPAN Chiba

in-PHARMA JAPAN is a highly specialized trade fair with an international focus, dedicated to pharmaceutical raw materials and active ingredients. It serves as a key meeting point for innovation, industry trends, and business synergies within the pharmaceutical and cosmetics sectors. The name of the exhibition derives from “International Pharmaceutical Ingredients,” highlighting its global orientation and its clear focus on pharmaceutical ingredients and intermediates.

The venue is the Makuhari Messe in Chiba, near Tokyo, one of Japan's most modern and largest exhibition centers. It boasts a central location and excellent transport links. Held annually in the summer, the trade fair is a firmly established date on the international pharmaceutical industry calendar. It is organized by RX Japan Ltd., a seasoned trade show organizer renowned for hosting high-quality, industry-focused events.

in-PHARMA JAPAN sets clear thematic priorities. It centers on the latest developments in active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), functional ingredients, additives, plant extracts, fine chemicals, cosmetic ingredients, as well as advanced formulation and outsourcing solutions. The exhibition is further enriched by OEM services and additional offerings relevant across the pharmaceutical value chain.

The event is distinguished by its practical orientation and forward-looking approach. The accompanying conference addresses key topics such as sustainability, regulatory compliance, quality assurance, excipients, and digital and analytical innovations — always with a focus on current challenges and solutions in drug development and formulation.

Exhibitors come from sectors including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, fine chemicals, and cosmetics. The professional audience primarily consists of experts from the pharmaceutical industry — including buyers, developers, research and production teams, and professionals responsible for quality assurance and regulatory affairs. in-PHARMA JAPAN is part of INTERPHEX Week Tokyo, which also includes INTERPHEX JAPAN, BioPharma Expo, and PharmaLab Tokyo — four closely aligned exhibitions that together form a comprehensive platform for pharmaceutical technologies.

As an international showcase for pharmaceutical ingredients, in-PHARMA JAPAN impressively demonstrates Japan’s role as a high-tech hub for modern drug manufacturing.
