Coway Vina Installs 542 Water Purifiers Across All Guest Rooms at New World Saigon Hotel to Cut 285,000 Reusable Glass Bottles Annually
A new report, The Value of Biosolutions: Growth and Prosperity to 2035 – Japan Edition, highlights how biosolutions could strengthen Japan's position as a global biomanufacturing hub and support its ambition to realize the world's most advanced bioeconomy by 2030. However, realizing this potential will require enabling policies and faster regulatory approvals, according to the report.
TOKYO, Japan, Aug. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As a global shift towards the bioeconomy accelerates, The Value of Biosolutions report quantifies the economic potential of the biosolutions sector both in Japan and globally, highlighting how biosolutions can contribute to growth, food and supply security as well as energy resilience. The report was launched during a Japanese delegation's visit to Novonesis' headquarters in Lyngby, Denmark, as part of discussions on biosolutions, including food enzyme market access and bioenergy policy advocacy.
According to the report's findings, the biosolutions industry's value in Japan could triple, reaching JPY 4.748 trillion by 2035. Realising this potential will require policy frameworks that create the right conditions for innovation and growth.
The report also reveals that each job created in the biosolutions sector could generate 2.1 additional jobs across other sectors in Japan, below the global average of 2.4, suggesting there is an opportunity for Japan to further expand the economic impact of biosolutions.
Today, biosolutions are already used across more than 30 industries globally, from food and agriculture to energy, industrial manufacturing, and biofuels. They are increasingly recognized as important drivers of sustainable and competitive economic transformation.
Hirokazu Sano, Representative Director & President at Novonesis Japan Ltd., said:
"Japan's ambition to realize the world's most advanced bioeconomy society will require greater adoption of bio-based inputs and more diverse resource streams. Biosolutions can play a central role in this transition by improving resource efficiency, strengthening energy resilience, and enabling more sustainable food and industrial systems. Yet, every year of regulatory delay, underdeveloped biofuel mandates and misaligned approval timelines represents a missed opportunity to unlock the potential of biosolutions across Japan's most strategic sectors."
Policy recommendations for enabling growth
The report outlines several policy recommendations to help unlock the full potential of biosolutions in Japan, including:
- Policy leadership: Continue the advocacy work of Japan's Bioeconomy Strategy and its Synthetic Biology and Biotechnology Growth Strategy.
- Financial incentives: Accelerate Japan's bioeconomy through an integrated network.
- Regulatory pathways: Create a fast-track regulatory pathway specific to biosolutions.
- Manufacturing: Utilization of processes that enable expansion to commercial scales.
- Mindset & strategy: Constructing an integrated strategy that further sharpens the selection and concentration of technological advantages.
- Public Awareness and social acceptance: Raise awareness of the value of innovation and the potential of biosolutions.

The report was developed by Amsterdam Data Collective (ADC) and commissioned by Novonesis, with analyses conducted by ADC and contributions from partners, including Jarl Frijs-Madsen, Ambassador of The Royal Danish Embassy in Japan.
