Approved by Japan’s Consumer Affairs Agency, this high-energy solution is redefining healthcare nutrition for aging populations, ensuring safety, reliability, and convenience.

Japan, as an advanced aging society, has leveraged its technological expertise to create products that serve as valuable lessons for the world. Major Japanese companies like Meiji and Maruha Nichiro are actively expanding into aging societies in Asia, where the aging population is on the rise.

Aging is becoming a significant phenomenon in Southeast Asia, with the percentage of the total working-age population (15-64 years old) anticipated to start declining by 2024. This demographic shift is prompting Japanese businesses to proactively enter these markets and apply their technological advancements to address the challenges associated with an aging population.
