Magellan Medical Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; President: Tetsuya Sugimoto), aiming to be the compass for medical mall management, has expanded the public area of its 'Medical Mall Market Trend Dashboard' using Microsoft Power BI. Following the Kanagawa version released in December 2025, the company has newly released the Kinki 3 Prefectures version (Kyoto, Osaka, and Hyogo) for free. Additionally, the company holds data insights analyzing proprietary medical mall data from various perspectives, such as by railway line, revealing the evolution of the medical mall market in the Kinki area.
### Background of the Kinki Edition (Kyoto, Osaka, Hyogo) Release
According to the Domestic Medical Mall Market Statistics Report vol.4 (data as of November 2025) published by Magellan Medical, the number of medical malls in the three Kinki prefectures is 731 in total: 433 in Osaka, 252 in Hyogo, and 46 in Kyoto. This scale follows the 1,611 facilities in the Tokyo metropolitan area (Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, Saitama), accounting for about one-quarter of medical malls nationwide. For dispensing pharmacies, developers, and consulting firms, understanding market trends in the Kinki area has become an unavoidable challenge for business strategy. Since the public launch of the Kanagawa dashboard in December 2025, many operators have requested the Kinki edition, leading to this release.
With this release, it is now possible to interactively analyze the market characteristics of the three Kinki prefectures—previously only available in PDF reports—in conjunction with maps, graphs, and chronological data.

### What You Can Analyze with the Dashboard
The dashboard consists of two categories: 'Overall Overview' and 'Demand Estimation.'
**Overall Overview:**
1. Detailed analysis by area (number of medical malls, number of resident clinics)
2. Visualization of location characteristics
3. Opening year trends showing market maturity
4. Search for success models through 'Main Medical Subject Combinations'
5. Visualization of patient evaluations: 'Average Google Review Rating'
**Demand Estimation:**
1. Visualization of medical demand potential from population data
2. Visualization of location risk and potential from land price data
### Key Analytical Points for Each Prefecture in Kinki
Analysis of the dashboards for each prefecture revealed distinct trends.
**Osaka Prefecture: A Clear Strategy Prioritizing Station Access**
With 433 medical malls (ranked 3rd nationwide) and a density of 4.94 facilities per 100,000 people—about double the national average (2.42)—Osaka boasts high density. Dashboard analysis confirmed that a location strategy prioritizing 'station access' is established throughout the prefecture. There is little difference between Osaka City (46.31% within 5 mins walk) and bedroom communities like Toyonaka, Suita, Takatsuki, and Ibaraki (48.24%). Station-adjacent mall development is mainstream regardless of urban or suburban location.
**Hyogo Prefecture: Unique 'Family-Type' Mall Characteristics in the Hanshin Area**
Hyogo boasts 252 malls (ranked 4th nationwide). While malls opened before 1990 had an average of 4.4 clinics per facility, those opened recently (since 2020) have downsized to an average of 3.5. Furthermore, in the Hanshin area, the most common combination is 'Pediatrics + Orthopedics + Dentistry,' differing from the national mainstream 'Internal Medicine + Ophthalmology + Dentistry,' reflecting a family-oriented characteristic.
**Kyoto Prefecture: Decentralized Location Trends**
In Kyoto (46 malls), a characteristic trend is the dispersion of locations. Facilities are almost evenly distributed across three categories: within 5 minutes walk from a station (34.78%), 6-10 minutes (28.26%), and 11-15 minutes (26.09%). This contrasts with Osaka and Hyogo, where station-adjacent locations exceed 50%.
