Insights from the Latest Healthcare Mall Market Report

In May 2025, Magellan Medical, a subsidiary backed by Glider Associates, announced the release of its in-depth report on the healthcare mall market across Japan. This key publication details the operational statistics and distribution dynamics of healthcare malls, revealing crucial insights into their structure and service offerings. The full report can be downloaded for free from their official site.

Overview of the Healthcare Mall Landscape

According to the report, Japan currently boasts a total of 2,943 healthcare malls. Remarkably, 77.1% of these facilities are concentrated in just five regions: Tokyo, Kanagawa, Saitama, Chiba, and the metropolitan areas of Osaka and Hyogo. This concentration highlights a significant urban-centric trend in the healthcare facility distribution across the country.

The report also notes the number of healthcare malls per 100,000 population, aiding in understanding local access to healthcare resources. Regions with high mall counts indicate stronger healthcare availability, while areas with fewer malls may face accessibility challenges.

Leading Medical Specialties in Healthcare Malls

Further analysis of the report identifies the three most popular medical specialties located within these malls:
1. Internal Medicine - accounting for 20.4% of total facilities,
2. Dentistry,
3. Ophthalmology.

These trends reflect the public's healthcare preferences and the types of services that are in highest demand. The report also provides comprehensive data on all 11,250 medical clinics housed within these healthcare malls.

Accessibility Trends

One of the striking findings is that more than half of the healthcare malls are situated within a five-minute walking distance from the nearest train stations. This accessibility is critical in facilitating patient visits. However, exceptions exist in prefectures such as Hokkaido, Hiroshima, and Kyoto, where a noticeable number of healthcare malls are found in areas less convenient for public transport access.

The report also analyzes geographical trends that influence healthcare mall placements, revealing an urgent need for planning to ensure equitable healthcare access throughout less populated regions.

Free Report Access

The complete document comprises 19 pages filled with data and insights pertinent to healthcare mall management and operations. Those interested can download it at no cost from the indicated URL. Future updates to the database will be released quarterly, alongside insights gathered through interviews with healthcare mall managers.
