The Japan Chain Drugstore Association (JACDS) will hold the 26th JAPAN Drugstore Show at Tokyo Big Sight from July 31 (Fri) to August 2 (Sun), 2026. The event gathers products, information, and systems that support self-medication. The theme is 'The Future of Drugstores through Self-Medication: NEXT25.' The exhibition will feature the latest pharmaceuticals, skincare, femcare products, health foods, and baby care items. A major highlight of this 26th edition is the newly established 'Maternity & Baby Care Zone.' As childcare environments change due to declining birth rates, dual-income households, and increased paternity leave, this zone demonstrates how drugstores are evolving into the most accessible infrastructure for families. Additionally, the popular 'Beauty Care' zone will showcase the latest trends, including dermatology-based skincare and gender-neutral cosmetics. The previous event hosted 398 exhibitors and attracted nearly 100,000 visitors, making it one of Japan's largest healthcare and lifestyle exhibitions.
