Growth factors in the historic period include strong economic growth in emerging markets, aging populations, FDI in pharmacies and healthcare stores in developing countries, rising popularity of the franchising concept, low interest rate concept, and increased healthcare expenditure. The market was restrained by unorganized pharmacy stores in developing countries, low healthcare access, and stringent regulations.

A considerable impact of COVID-19 is being seen on pharmacies and healthcare stores, as they battle against lockdowns, travel restrictions, staff shortages, and demand fluctuations. The pandemic is also causing massive supply chain disruptions in the pharmacies and healthcare stores market which has led to drug shortages and unavailability of manufactured products and source materials around the globe. The shortage of raw materials from both China and India, pushed up the cost of supplies which led to an increase in prices by almost 30% for over-the-counter pain relief medication like paracetamol, ibuprofen and aspirin. The increase in prices impacted pharmacy retailers as wholesalers passed on the cost to retail. Independent pharmacies were hit harder as they lacked financial cushioning to absorb the wholesale price rise. The increased demand for pain relief products and cough and cold medication during the pandemic further contributed to the increase in prices.
