6. Analysis of the development trend of China's chain pharmacies industry
1. The market size of the pharmaceutical retail industry will be further expanded
1. 6
Under the joint action of many factors such as the continuous and stable growth of GDP, the stable increase in the consumption level of , the gradual tension of the population aging crisis, and the urbanization rate exceeding 65%. The new medical reform, the continuous improvement of the medical insurance protection level under the background of , my country's retail pharmacy industry will usher in a continuous development dividend, and the stable growth of the demand market has driven the continuous expansion of the industry scale. It is expected that the domestic chain pharmacy industry will continue to develop healthily in the next ten years and continuously refresh the scale of drug retail.
2. Industry integration accelerates, industry concentration and chain rate will be further improved
. Against the backdrop of the continuous advancement and implementation of core medical reform policies such as pharmaceutical division and prescription outflow, the drug market in the hospital will gradually flow out to social pharmacies. Therefore, social pharmacies are becoming more and more favored and paid attention to the capital market. In recent years, more and more chain pharmacies have entered the capital market through IPO listing, and strengthened the integration of industry mergers and acquisitions through secondary market financing. In the future, with the further improvement of industry concentration and continuous optimization of policies, the chain pharmacies industry will have better development opportunities.
3. Professional medical service capabilities will become an important market competitiveness for pharmaceutical retail enterprises in the future
. Since the purchase and use of drugs are closely related to the health and safety of consumers, retail pharmacies need to provide professional pharmacy guidance during the process of consumers purchasing drugs. At the same time, with the gradual implementation of relevant medical reform policies such as " medicine separate " and "prescription outflow", pharmaceutical retail companies are facing new opportunities and challenges. On the one hand, with the promotion of prescription outflow, a larger share of the prescription drug market will be transferred to chain pharmacies for sales. The growth and share of prescription drugs in the future will be the largest source of growth for pharmacies; on the other hand, due to the special nature of prescription drugs and industry regulatory requirements, prescription drugs must be sold through professional professional pharmacists before they can be sold. Therefore, chain pharmacies need to further improve talent reserves in terms of equipped pharmacies and providing prescription review services, and also propose higher pharmacies for the pharmacies' business capabilities. The special safety requirements for drug sales and the gradual implementation of relevant medical reform policies will promote pharmaceutical retail enterprises to continuously improve their professional medical service capabilities.
4. The advent of the "new retail" era will put higher requirements on the information management of pharmaceutical retail enterprises
With the advent of the "new retail" era, as a sub-industry of the retail industry, the pharmaceutical retail industry also needs to optimize consumer experience, expand the ability to provide value-added service to suppliers, and improve the company's own operating efficiency based on the collection, sorting and analysis of business process data such as consumer purchases, supplier procurement, and logistics distribution. This will put higher requirements on the information management of pharmaceutical retail enterprises.
