Vietnam Pharmacy
Retail Market Segmentations
By Market Structure: The Vietnam Pharmacy Retail Market is
dominated by the presence of Unorganized Pharmacies in the term of number of
stores as well as revenue. The customers prefer to purchase prescribed
medicines from unorganized pharmacies as majority of these pharmacies as these
are easily accessible and located on every corner. The organized pharmacies are
offering services such as in store consultation, wide product assortments,
special discounts and offers for members and other value added services for
attracting customers.
By Region: The 63 provinces of Vietnam can be broadly
divided into three regions: Northern, Southern & Central. Currently, the
southern region, particularly Ho Chi Minh & neighboring provinces are home
of maximum number of pharmacies in the country & also contribute the
highest revenue. Ho Chi Minh alone has ~6,000 pharmacies in 2019.
By Type of Sales: Prescribed Medicines were the most selling
category in the overall market in 2019. This is mostly due to the demand for maintenance
medicines by the ageing population. The organized pharmacies are focusing on
selling more non pharmaceutical products such as beauty & FMCG as well as
medical equipment, as they help in increasing the store profitability.
By Location of Pharmacy: On the basis of number of pharmacies,
majority of the pharmacies were observed to be located in streets, malls,
shopping complexes, etc. Residential areas, busy streets near hospitals are most
preferred locations for setting up pharmacies. The number of private pharmacies
located inside hospital premises accounted for a very small percentage of the
total number of pharmacies in Vietnam.
By Therapeutic Class: The medicines sold in Vietnam can be
classified in different therapeutic classes such as cardiovascular, pain/analgesics,
anti-infective, anti-diabetic, vitamins, minerals and nutrients, respiratory,
and others on the basis of the type of disease they are used to cure. The
cardiovascular drugs have highest demand in the region due to the ageing
population. Rising cases of non-communicable diseases such as diabetes &
respiratory diseases have also lead to an increase in demand for these drugs.
