Philippines Pharmacy Retail Market is Expected to Reach Around PHP 300.5 Billion by the Year Ending 2023: Ken Research
GURUGRAM, India, Sept. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
- Expected increase in the demand for generic medicines is further expected to give a boost to the Philippines pharmacy retail market revenues. The segment is expected to grow at CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period 2019-2023.
- Pharmacy chains within the Philippines are further anticipated to increase their market penetration in the semi-urban and rural areas of the country therefore, leading to higher store openings in the near future.
- The Philippines was evaluated as the 11th most attractive market for the pharmaceutical companies and the 3rd most attractive market among the ASEAN countries as of 2018. This is majorly due to the various factors such as the growing population, high rate of medical tourism and other similar factors.
Growth of Organized Pharmacy: The pharmacy retail chains are growing aggressively in the Philippines. In order for a speedy growth, the pharmacy chains are acquiring the unorganized standalone stores as it helps them to save the costs and operations to open a pharmacy store and building it up from scratch. The stores of the organized chains such as Metro Drugstore, SouthStar Drug and TGP has been concentrated in the Manila, Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao region of the Philippines. As the market is becoming concentrated day by day, the companies are focusing on opening the stores in different provinces and less developed regions of the country such as rural and semi-urban areas.
Growth of Non Communicable Diseases: As per a survey in the Philippines, more than half of the population above the age of 20 drinks regularly and more than one third of the population aged 15 years - smokes. As a result, one in every five person is suffering from high blood pressure therefore, it is expected that there will be growth in the non communicable diseases segment in the Philippines. As, Philippines have some of the highest medicine costs in the ASEAN countries, the consumers are purchasing more of the generic medicines than the branded products. It is estimated that the generic medicines segment will be approximately 65% of the total medicine retail in the Philippines by the year ending 2023.
Government Initiative to Improve the Medicine Distribution System: Botika Ng Bayan an initiative taken up to increasing the government medical dispensaries has been revived by the government of the Philippines. The aim of government is to expand it to each Barangay (village) in the Philippines. This will help in improving the medical distribution system within the Philippines and will provide Filipinos with affordable healthcare and medicines in future. The last count of Botka Ng Bayan pharmacy stores was evaluated 2,266 in the year 2011.
