Dispensing Chemists in Ireland

Dispensing Chemists distribute pharmaceutical products to consumers, meaning they play an essential role in the Irish healthcare system. Retail and community pharmacies sell over-the-counter medicines, provide professional advice and perform basic medical testing. Increasing competitive pressure from supermarket pharmacies and own-brand medicine has shifted consumption patterns towards in-house supermarket chemists, meaning some dispensaries have struggled to maintain healthy profitability.

Operators in the industry dispense and retail pharmaceutical goods via community pharmacies and chemists. Pharmacies also provide other Health Services Executive (HSE) services and sell over-the-counter medications and health-related products. This industry does not include non-health-related products or in-store supermarket pharmacies.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
