European Healthcare - Change Factors
• Cost of social healthcare - Capital investment, new sophisticated drugs and procedures – pharmaceuticals and their distribution channels become easy targets for cost cutting – prices, margins, fees, generic substitution targets etc.
• Aging populations – emerging silver market – longer term health issues and costs – home treatment and care
• Concentration of the intermediary sector in Europe e.g. Alliance Boots – Anzag, Sanastera (Sanacorp CERP merger) with :
Diversification along the supply chain – retail chains, Internet services, pre-wholesaling
Growing investment in emerging markets outside Western Europe (e.g. Celesio Brazil, Alliance Boots Turkey, Middle East , China and SE Asia, Oriola Russia)
Shift from price regulated to unregulated price sectors (Manufacturer outsource services, homecare etc.)
Maintenance of core wholesaler business as the main cash cow to invest in new sectors and markets

Importance of the Major Distributors in Europe
James Dudley OTC Distribution in Europe 2012 edition.
• A small number of distributors control well over half the intermediary pharmaceutical market in Europe
• These companies invest in retail pharmacy as wholly owned chains or as affiliated marketing groups (voluntary groups)
5 distributors are driving the future of retail pharmacy in Europe

Major Retail Pharmacy Chains
James Dudley OTC Distribution in Europe
Expanding the size and geography of retail pharmacy multiples through the creation of hybrid groupings made up of mixed estates of wholly owned, franchise concept chains and affiliated voluntary members

www.James-dudley.co.uk © James Dudley International Ltd 2012 13 21 November 2012
Pharmacies in Voluntary Groupings
James Dudley OTC Distribution in Europe 2012 edition.
• 78% located in France and Germany – where they do not have to compete with large wholly owned chains
• Largely driven by main pharmacy distributors e.g.:- Celesio, Phoenix, Alliance Boots, Sanastera, Doz SA, (PGF)- Poland, Galenica – Switzerland, Hungaropharma – Hungary
• Strengths of a chain, benefits of independent management
• Branding, buyer power and patient/consumer services
29.6% of Europe’s
pharmacies in voluntary groupings
www.James-dudley.co.uk © James Dudley International Ltd 2012 14 21 November 2012
Types of Voluntary Group
Loose unbranded wholesaler group
Tight branded wholesaler group
Branded cooperative (independents)
Unbranded buying group
Group of independent pharmacies aligned to a wholesaler – usually low cost membership, range of services members can choose from – the main purpose is to promote loyalty to the sponsoring wholesaler
Group of independent pharmacies aligned to a wholesaler – members sign up to a brand concept and services and participate in promotions, advertising campaigns and share consumer loyalty programmes including store cards
Group of independent pharmacies formed into a cooperative sharing a common brand, or speciality – members buy shares in the cooperative, usually appoint a management team - participate in promotions, advertising campaigns and share services
Group of independent pharmacies acting as a buying collective
Franchise Concept Independent pharmacies invest in a retail brand umbrella whose marketing,
procurement operations and formats are controlled by the brand owner

Problems with Voluntary Chains
• There are few mechanisms to maintain the discipline of the chain
• The failure on the part of their managements to understand the importance of differentiating their retail offer, positioning and branding
• Wholesalers have concentrated on retaining pharmacy loyalty through the leadership of groups
• Members ‘cherry pick’ intermediary offers rather than building a retail brand
• Lack of full hearted support for organized brand promotions by group members is frustrating for manufacturers and undermines the group buying strength
• Consumers’ trust in retail brands reflect their experiences, expectations and quality and cost perceptions, so chains which fail to provide a consistent consumer offer undermine this trust
.....Members are realising that as well as good buying, innovation such as loyalty cards, branding, formatting and promotions are important elements for competing in a competitive retail sector.....

New Visions for the Future
• Multi-format pharmacy groupings will in future create brands with meanings to consumers, leverage marketing clout, generate multi-channel shopping experiences through E commerce, home delivery and E value loyalty schemes linked to store cards and mobile technology applications –M Commerce
• Chains will exert buyer power on a global/regional basis to maximize market share forcing further consolidation in the supply chain to match the demands of pharmacy groups in terms of prices, cost of goods, promotional spend and services
• Pharmacy groups may well follow segmentation strategies of other retail sectors with a distinction between those which will become big discounters and those targeting premium opportunities (In Russia the major chains run two or more brands)
• The development of ‘own’ or ‘private label ’ as an intrinsic part of each retailers’ brand building strategies
• International manufacturers will transfer brand marketing technologies across borders these will include QR codes that can be read in-store by mobile apps and linked to retailer promotions, M Commerce POS and E value loyalty cards to exploit the holistic nature of the multi-channel shopping experience
Globalization of the pharmacy channel, new multi-channel retail strategies and spreading multi-format regional pharmacy chain brands will greatly intensify the
competitive landscape and force further restructuring right along the healthcare supply chain
