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 Type of Drug: Generic drugs contributed majority of the revenue of the pharmacy retail industry in Vietnam in 2019. This has been due to the fact that generics are more affordable & accessible to a large section of the society which falls under low to medium income category. Patented medicines are generally prescribed by international hospitals & clinics. Most pharmacies in Vietnam offer a mix of Patented Medicines and Generic Medicines.
