Market Overview
India pharmacy retail market is at a mature stage. India pharmacy
retail industry revenue has grown at a positive CAGR during the period FY’2013-FY’2019.
This growth was supported by rise in
number of chronic diseases, low prices of generic drugs, rise in number of
hospital based pharmacies, growth in OTC segment, urbanization and growth of
middle class population. The customers in the market are highly price
sensitive and rising operating cost, lack of stringent regulations, low per
capita healthcare expenditure, and lack of infrastructure has resulted in low
penetration of pharmacy retail in India.
The online pharmacy retail market is still in the nascent
stage in the country and its popularity is increasing as it has increased the
ease of accessibility to drugs for the customers. These companies majorly
operate in Tier 1 and 2 cities. They operate on either marketplace model or
inventory based model. The issues and challenges faced by the companies depend
on the type of business model the company follows.

and Hospital based Pharmacy): Hospital based pharmacies are those retail stores which are
present in hospitals while standalone pharmacies can be present anywhere. In
terms of number of stores, the market is highly dominated by the standalone
pharmacies while in terms of revenue the market is segregated equally into
standalone and hospital based pharmacies.
By Type of Product Categories
(Prescribed Drugs, OTC Drugs and Non Pharmaceutical Goods): Prescribed drugs include those drugs
which are sold only when they are prescribed by the doctors while OTC drugs can
be sold even without prescriptions. Non pharmaceutical goods includes products
like personal care products, skin care, body care, health food, nutritional
supplements, and hygiene products such as hand wash, diapers and other FMCG
