The Pharmacy Market is valued at USD 2.4 trillion in 2024 growing at a CAGR of 5% during the forecast period 2024-2035.
The latest research study delves into the pharmacy industry, examining trends, market analysis, competitive landscape, company competitiveness, value chain, market impact, and forecast opportunities. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and the aging population, combined with growing demand for home care, is driving the adoption of online pharmacy services. According to the US health department, approximately 133 million Americans suffer from at least one chronic disease. To address this, pharmacies are offering a wide range of prescription drugs, over-the-counter products, medical devices, and health and wellness products for treatment. Many pharmacies have become "one-stop-shops" offering a variety of products beyond traditional pharmacy services. The global pharmacy industry is shifting towards personalization, sustainability, and online pharmacy services. Pharmacies are adopting automation and digitalization strategies to enhance efficiency, patient safety, and personalized services. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated industry growth, with pharmacies offering testing and vaccination services. Pharmacists are now providing additional services like glucose testing, cholesterol screening, and immunizations in community pharmacies. Loyalty programs have become popular in the US, with 33% of consumers joining new programs in 2022. Globally, 57% of consumers used their loyalty points to save money in 2022.
Online pharmacies have experienced rapid growth worldwide, driven by high internet usage and patients' desire to reduce healthcare costs. However, the growth has also led to increased illegal sales of unapproved and misbranded drugs. Varying regulatory environments have resulted in different models of online pharmacies, with prescription-based models in the US and non-prescription models in Europe. As the industry continues to evolve, pharmacies are adopting strategies like micro-fulfillment centers to support prescription drug shipping demand. The shift towards online pharmacy services is expected to drive significant growth in the global pharmacy market value over the forecast period.
