Star Online September 8 (Correspondent) Sun Ping) From September 7th to 9th, the second China Pharmaceutical Circulation and Trade Conference and the second World Pharmaceutical Retail Industry Conference (referred to as "2022 Star Conference") were held at the Changsha International Conference Center. This conference is co-organized by Changsha Municipal People's Government and China Medical and Drug Resources Association.
In recent years, in the face of "compression of profit space + increasing operating threshold + stricter regulatory policies", what is the future development trend of the domestic pharmaceutical retail industry? On the evening of September 7, the first forum of the 2022 Star Conference kicked off, and Yifeng Pharmacy, executive vice president of the China Medical Resources Association, delivered a speech on the spot with the theme of "New Thoughts, New Cooperation, and New Development of Pharmaceuticals". At the forum, representatives of pharmaceutical companies from hundreds of well-known chain pharmacies from across the country, including Shuyu , Shandong Yanxitang , etc. gathered together.
Gao Yi, executive vice president of China Medical Resources Association and chairman of Yifeng Pharmacy, analyzed national policies and interpreted the development trend of pharmaceutical retail from the aspects of thinking, strategy, methodology, etc., and discussed the path of upgrading and development of pharmaceutical retail with the guests on the scene. "Creating a new pattern of pharmaceutical retail such as professional customer service, systematic talent training, and diversified channel construction is a 'green channel' for pharmacies to break through quickly." Li Wenjie, chairman of Shuyu Pingmin, pointed out that the lack of professional operation teams and insufficient operation and management experience is an important reason for the decline in pharmacies' revenue. Yu Zhigang, chairman of Shandong Yanxitang Pharmaceutical Group, said that chain pharmacies must keep up with the times and make continuous progress, promote business dimensions and break the inherent limitations of the industry. Competition in the new track is both a trend and a challenge.
It is reported that in recent years, Hunan's pharmaceutical retail format has developed rapidly. How pharmacies find their own positioning and plan their future development is an important test question on the road to "take the exam" in the new era. Retail pharmacies have transformed one after another, choosing different ways to integrate pharmaceutical e-commerce integration, adjust product categories, and upgrade pharmacy services, and are committed to providing the public with professional services, fair prices, safe and secure drugs.
It is reported that in the first half of 2022, the online revenue achieved by major chain retail pharmacy listed companies exceeded 1/2 of the total of 2021. As of the end of 2021, there were as many as 590,000 pharmacies nationwide.
