Analyzing the number of patents in the biotechnology sector in Japan, we have the following forecasted data for the years 2024 to 2028. The actual value in 2023 stood at 1.36 thousand patents. Forecasts indicate a slight decline from 1.34 thousand in 2024 to 1.25 thousand in 2028. This marks a year-on-year decrease of approximately 2.24% between 2024 and 2025, and continues similarly towards 2028 with about a 1.98% reduction per year on average.

Future trends to watch for:
- Potential shifts in government policies and funding for R&D may influence future patent filings.
- The emergence of new biotechnologies and sectors within biotech could offset the decline.
- International collaborations and partnerships might spur innovation and patent activity.
