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.
