By Type of Pharmaceuticals (Prescription Only Pharmaceuticals, Pharmacy-Only Pharmaceuticals, Supplementary Products & Unrestricted OTC pharmaceuticals): Prescription–only pharmaceuticals segment was observed to dominate the industry revenue in 2018.

Germany Retail Pharmacy Market Future Outlook and Projections:
Germany retail pharmacy market in terms of revenue is further expected to increase over the forecasted period 2018-2023E. The market will be majorly driven by improved healthcare infrastructure including the increase in a number of community pharmacies and branch pharmacies. Additionally, it will be supported by the improved healthcare services including the provision of consultation to the patients in the pharmacies via various means of communication. In Germany, it is also anticipated that the prevalence of diseases will rise in the near future, primarily due to bad eating habits of people, sedentary lifestyle and heavy consumption of chemically compounded goods that have their side effects. Favorable government regulations will also facilitate the entry of foreign companies in the country’s retail pharmacy sector. Expansion of foreign pharmacy retail chains and production of advanced medicines will directly support the growth of revenue in Germany retail pharmacy market.
