Philippines
Pharmacy Retail Market Overview and Size:
The Philippines pharmacy retail market
is a booming industry backed by the growth in the organized retail chains and
the demand for the generic medicines in the country. Medicines stores have been
present in the Philippines market since the 20th century. There were different
kind of stores such as Chinese drugstores and traditional medicine shops.

costs of pharmaceutical products have led to growth in the demand for generic
medicines. The government has also taken up initiatives for improving the

medicines to the different consumers. Philippines have the third highest market

order pharmacies also started to gain traction in the country.
Philippines
Pharmacy Retail Market Segmentation
By
Market Structure (Organized and Unorganized Market)
Philippines pharmacy retail market was
dominated by the organized segment as these chains have established a good
relation with the customers on the basis of the store convenience and different
customer loyalty schemes. On the other hand, unorganized segment is mostly
prevalent in the countryside and rural areas where the organized chains are not
present.
Type
of Store Location (Standalone and Hospital Based Stores)
The standalone stores are able to
generate greater revenue than the hospital based stores as most of the patients
prefer to purchase from the standalone stores due to their cost efficiency. In
addition to that, standalone stores maintain a wide range of non pharmaceutical
products which increases the store footfall.
By
Type of Sales (Prescribed Medicines, Over the Counter Products, Non Pharma
Products and Medical Equipment)
Sales towards prescribed medicines
were observed to dominate Philippines pharmacy retail market during the year
2018. The demand is majorly facilitated by the sales in the hospital based
stores and standalone stores near a hospital. This was followed by the OTC
products, Non Pharmaceutical Products and medical equipment.
By
Type of Drug (Generic and Patented)
The generics category consists of a
number of sub-segments existing at different pricing tiers including branded
generics, Uni-branded generics, house-brands and unbranded generics.
Traditionally, the market consisted of branded and unbranded generics but big
local companies have launched Uni-brands such as Pharex and RiteMed at a
discounted price lower than the branded generics, therefore have experienced
high growth. The remaining market was captured by patented segment.
By

The Philippines pharmacy market has
different group of therapeutic drug classes such as anti-infective,
cardiovascular, gastro intestinal, anti diabetic, vitamins, minerals and
nutrients, respiratory, pain analgesics, dermatology, neuro, gynecological and
