In life, how do you think pharmacies are very profitable?

High rents, high salaries, and competition are not as good as you think!

I've been running a pharmacy for a year. It's almost capital preservation every month.

Now the competition is too big, there are too many pharmacies, and chain stores are blooming everywhere. It's not profitable at all, and many stores are struggling.

I've been to wholesale medicines, and the profit of the pharmacy is to sell one box to earn one box, or even higher.

Pharmacies make 60 percent profits, health care drugs, and couples make 200 to 300 percent profits, and rural pharmacies make huge profits.

Pharmacies in first- and second-tier cities have a small profit and lose money. Because the rent and personnel costs are too high. Third- and fourth-tier cities are facing the problem of small markets and price smashing.

About 35 percent, not that big.

Really let you open to know that Shenma is desperate, drugs have more than 70% gross profit, there are also 50-60, and there are a few rare products that lose money, but the actual sales result is that the sales of high gross profit are far less than the loss of rare products, and now open a pharmacy either you have more than others sales skills, or quietly wait for the door!

There are good pharmacies now, but there are not many, and they all stay up, otherwise they will have to go to work!

I've been running a pharmacy for more than 10 years, and to be honest, the profits were okay before. Now there are too many pharmacies, the competition is very great, the rent is also high, and some drugs are highly profitable, but pharmacies have at least five minutes of medicine that is sold at the principal, and there will be one or two good businesses in any industry in every place, and the others can only support their families. The basic rest of the city is now a chain pharmacy of pharmaceutical companies, with sufficient funds and strong competitiveness, and their purchase price is definitely lower than that of self-employed people, so there are very few pharmacies in the self-employed city.

If the big pharmacies didn't invite those little girls who could blow their mouths to sell health care products and set social security money, in the face of high rents and workers' expenses, at least half of them would die.

As a pharmacy practitioner, tell you that pharmacy margins are very thin now. The price of drugs from manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies has increased almost month by month, and it is really difficult to do drug supervision and medical insurance management.

Nowadays, pharmacies are basically not very profitable, and they used to be really profitable! The gross profit of pharmacies is about 50%. In addition to rent, labor, utilities and so on. The net profit is about 25-35.

The profit of the pharmacy is still quite large, and the owner of the pharmacy next to my house usually plays well with us, and he has only been open for three years before buying a house and a car.

In today's society, you can bargain for everything, except for pharmacies and doctors. You have to pay as much as you want, and you can't do anything less.

We have one of the most prosperous old streets, with an annual rent of at least 200,000 yuan for shops of about 30 square meters, and those who can enter the street to set up stalls, in addition to selling gold and jade, are selling medicines, a street of less than a kilometer, there are more than ten pharmacies, and each store is at least three stores and auxiliary areas, followed by selling brand clothing. This shows the profit of the drug.

The profit of pharmacies varies from region to region, mainly related to the size of the local market, the price level and the degree of competition. According to industry insiders, the average profit margin of retail pharmacies is around 20%. This profit margin is not high compared to other retail industries, and is close to the average profit margin of lifestyle goods in shopping malls.

In recent years, pharmacies have begun to sell first-class medicines, taking Naoxinshu oral liquid as an example, and now pharmacies basically sell drugs like Yunnan Baiyao, with a retail price of 18 yuan. The same box of oral liquid with better efficacy, the previous box was 6 yuan, and now this medicine is basically difficult to find. The profitability of pharmacies is generally decent in the retail industry.

The high profits of pharmacies mean that the burden on the common people is heavy. Now that the best medicine is prevalent, I really hope that the country will have corresponding countermeasures to implement low-cost drugs, so as to reduce the burden on the people.

I am a retired employee of the pharmacy which knows a little, now the specific store department of the chain pharmacy is not from elsewhere the right to purchase can only be purchased from the company, with the profit is normal, but the company is difficult to say, some pharmaceutical factories and the company is black power, in which the manufacturer to the company's deduction rate is difficult to say, anyway, the pharmaceutical representative of the pharmaceutical factory is very, very powerful, it can be said that there is no in, that can be imagined.

How big is the gross profit of the pharmacy, I have promoted many times for many years to promote general medicines such as Miao medicine and Mongolian medicine. There are generally unspoken rules for drugs marketed to pharmacies, and after telling pharmacies the retail price of drugs, it is basically three or seven to four or six points, and five or five points are less. The retail price of 100 yuan, the purchase price of pharmacies is 50-30 yuan.

Some new drugs cost 20 yuan or more than 10 yuan, and they can't be refunded. Salesmen also have to ask for food and gifts to pharmacies, and in some places, they still pay the bills to the salesmen after the medicine is purchased, and some refuse to pay even after they are finished. Just think about how profitable the pharmacy is.

As a practitioner in the pharmaceutical industry, the current pharmacy is no longer the kind of project that can make a lot of money when it is opened, it is basically the same as a community convenience store, and the gross profit is about 50% on average! The key is that pharmacies can't have as high turnover as convenience stores, so now many pharmacies are going downhill and facing closure!

Now that the customer supply is stable, it seems that the pharmacies with good income are the only ones that have a good income. They have at least a few ways to make money: designated pharmacies that have a relationship with urban medical insurance and NCMS, and how many people spend money on these pharmacies in a year; Promote "new special" and health care products.

Although the drug supervision is very strict, pharmacies are still selling; Transfusion. It is expressly forbidden that individual pharmacies cannot infuse fluids, but this is a matter of the past year or two. The infusion room in the pharmacy can't be idle!

Drug price differentials. The same street, the same medicine, always one pharmacy at one price. This can only be found by buying it separately, as little as 1 yuan, and as much as 5 yuan; People's mindset towards seeing a doctor.

When you are sick, you are always afraid of going to a big hospital, and those tests alone are enough. People first went to pharmacies to buy some pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory drugs, which undoubtedly increased the income of pharmacies.

Whether it is a hospital or a pharmacy has a certain income and harmony, people eat grains, that there are not sick, encounter a general minor illness, such as a cold and low fever, and other minor illnesses to the pharmacy to buy some medicine, whether you pay cash, or swipe the medical insurance card, the pharmacy will have income and profits, the owner of the pharmacy also has to eat, the staff of the pharmacy also have to support their families, so the pharmacy still has a certain profit.

Outsiders don't know how big the profit of the pharmacy is, but judging from the cost of hiring personnel and the level of consumption in the pharmacy, the profit of the pharmacy is really impossible to say. In my county, a physical pharmacy employs two sitting doctors, 6 people take medicine, negotiate prices, and charge fees, and one specializes in decocting Chinese medicine.

In recent years, there has been a surge in the growth of major chain pharmacies on the street. In fact, pharmacies, like supermarkets, are also divided into many categories, such as medicines, health products, and Chinese herbal medicines. The gross profit of each category of things is also different, and it is generally to lower the things that everyone often sees to attract customers, and at the same time, the profits of things that are not usually exposed to it are higher.

To open a pharmacy (drug retail enterprise), you need to have a drug business license, a good management practice (GSP) certification certificate, and a licensed pharmacist. Please refer to the relevant pharmaceutical regulations and consult the local drug administration for details.

According to the survey, we take the general retail pharmacy as an example: the daily sales are 1,500-2,000 yuan, the monthly turnover is about 55,000 yuan, and the fixed support rent is 8,000 yuan, the salary is 6,000 yuan and the purchase is 20,000 yuan, so plus the cost of store rent, the gross profit may be 40%, but this is also very high.

I believe that when you go to the pharmacy to buy medicine, you will see some medical equipment, or health care products, don't underestimate these medical equipment and health care products, these profits are very objective, if there are elderly people at home, Liang Zai they will choose to buy in the pharmacy, after all, the pharmacy is more secure than other places to buy, the profit of some products in this line is also quite high, and naturally make more money, and the average person has a cold and fever and other small problems, and will also go to the pharmacy to get some medicine to eat.

Dear, hello, the profit of pharmacies has 20% between 30% and China's retail pharmacy market size has increased from 340.8 billion yuan in 2016 to 467.1 billion yuan in 2020, with an average annual compound growth rate, and it is expected that the size of China's retail pharmacy market will reach 686.5 billion yuan in 2022. The huge pharmaceutical retail market has naturally attracted many enterprises to participate in it, and we find that brand chain pharmacies have now occupied half of the pharmaceutical retail industry, and there is a trend of getting bigger and bigger. According to the data of the "Statistical Report on Drug Supervision and Administration (Third Quarter of 2021)" released by the State Food and Drug Administration in March 2022, as of the end of September 2021, there were 10,000 licensed enterprises with "Drug Business License" in China.

And this phenomenon has also created a surprising market phenomenon: as long as we walk down the street, we always find a pharmacy open every other distance. Although the names of pharmacies are not the same, the medicines sold are much the same.

I believe that many friends have also discovered that now whether in big cities or small cities, there are a large number of pharmacies, they are all over the city, this phenomenon is not only amazing: pharmacies are too profitable. Why have pharmacies become the mainstream of brick-and-mortar stores?

It is understood that there are two main reasons for the opening of more and more pharmacies in China today. First of all: the chronic patient population in China is very large.

According to Wang Longde, academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and president of the Chinese Preventive Medicine Association, he previously publicly stated on the Internet: At present, there are more than 100 million patients with chronic diseases in China. The huge number of patients with chronic diseases has a huge demand for medication in their daily lives.

In addition, the resources of urban hospitals are limited, and patients with chronic diseases cannot run to the hospital every time they take medicine, so the huge pharmacy imitation system plays an important role, and they provide convenient services for the general public. Secondly: the threshold for opening a pharmacy is much lower than before.

Up to now, only a graduation certificate from a health school is required to open a pharmacy, plus a business license, a drug business license, a medical device business license, and a fixed business place. Coupled with the cost of some medicines, as long as you are a person who is a medical student, you can basically open a pharmacy, so there are many "mom-and-pop pharmacies" in the market now. So, how high is the profit of pharmacies?

According to industry insiders, due to the wide variety of drugs in pharmacies, the profits of different drugs are not the same, but on the whole, the profits of pharmacies are not low, excluding various expenses, the profit margin of most pharmacies can reach between 20% and 30%.

Summary. First of all, health supplements are the most profitable in pharmacies. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people pay more and more attention to physical health.

Especially in the case of the increasing number of elderly people in China, a variety of health care products have become very popular. Under normal circumstances, the gross profit margin of most health care products is as high as 60-70%, and the net profit margin is more than 20%. Therefore, of course, pharmacies will not let go of this profit growth point, in addition to selling medicines, they will also sell various health products, and they are very profitable.

Health care products are not equal to medicines, and they are not aimed at diseases. It is just a type of food that can regulate the functions of the human body and is suitable for specific groups of people.

There are many types of drugs in pharmacies, and the profits of different drugs are not the same, but on the whole, the profits of pharmacies selling drugs are not high, except for various expenses, the profit margin of most pharmacies reaches between 20% and 30%. This kind of profit margin can be achieved in many industries. What do pharmacies do to make money?

In addition to selling medicines, the sales of health care products and medical device products are the two most important aspects.

First of all, health supplements are the most profitable in pharmacies. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the people pay more and more attention to physical health. Especially in the case of the increasing number of elderly people in China, a variety of health care products have become very popular.

Under normal circumstances, the gross profit margin of most health care products is as high as 60-70%, and the net profit margin is more than 20%. Therefore, of course, pharmacies will not let go of this profit growth point, in addition to selling medicines, they will also sell various health products, and they are very profitable. Health care products are not equal to medicines, and they are not aimed at diseases.

It is just a type of food that can regulate the functions of the human body and is suitable for specific groups of people.

Secondly, the sale of medical device products. Family health care equipment: pain massage equipment, home health care self-testing equipment, blood pressure monitor, electronic thermometer, multi-function instrument, laser instrument, blood sugar early touch instrument, diabetes instrument, vision improvement equipment, sleep improvement equipment, oral hygiene and health products, family emergency products.

Home medical equipment: household cervical and lumbar traction device, traction land talking chair, physiotherapy instrument, sleep instrument, massager, nuclear stove function chair, functional bed, supporter, medical inflatable air cushion; Oxygen concentrators, decoctions, hearing aids, etc. Because this type of product is not transparent, it is relatively easier to increase the unit price and the profit is higher.
