The Chinese pharmaceutical distribution market has been expanding steadily over the recent years, being valued at RMB2,330.3 billion in 2019 with a year-on-year increase of 8.9%, of which the pharmaceutical retail market reached RMB466.1 billion, rising 9.9% on an annualized basis. The robust downstream demand spurs the Chinese pharmaceutical distribution market to grow apace and be expectedly worth RMB4,225.7 billion by 2026.
Western medicine sales dominate pharmaceutical distribution in China, accounting for 72.2% in 2018; the sales in East China and Central South China seize larger shares up to 62.1% together in 2018.
A competition pattern has been developed in the country where there are national pharmaceutical distributors represented by China National Pharmaceutical Group Corporation (Sinopharm), China Resources Pharmaceutical Commercial Group, Shanghai Pharmaceuticals and Jointown Pharmaceutical Group and the regional ones represented by NanJing Pharmaceutical, Guangzhou Pharmaceuticals, Chongqing Pharmaceutical, Huadong Medicine, Sichuan Kelun, Zhejiang Int'l, Realcan Pharmaceutical, Guangxi Liuzhou Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Luyan Pharma Co., Ltd.
As of end of November 2018, there had been 13,598 pharmaceutical wholesalers nationwide which competed fiercely in the scattered market. The market tends to be concentrated with the incentive policies such as the two-invoice system and volume procurement. As to earnings, China National Pharmaceutical Group Corp. still led the pack and Shanghai Pharmaceuticals Holding Co., Ltd. ascended to the second place, while China Resources Pharmaceutical Commercial Group Co., Ltd. dropped a notch and ranked third. It is worth mentioning that the commercial segment of Shenzhen Neptunus Galaxy Pharmaceutical Investment Co., Ltd. reported the revenue of RMB36,976 million in 2018 (compared with just RMB64.48 million in 1998), an upsurge of 54.33% from a year earlier, helping it rise to the sixth place among Chinese pharmaceutical wholesale enterprises.

A total of 5,671 pharmaceutical retail chain enterprises in China as of the end of 2018 were in possession of 255,467 stores; 52.2% of pharmacies had been chained, a year-on-year increase of 1.7 percentage points; pharmacies covered by medical insurance had shared 72%.

In 2018, the total sales of the top 100 Chinese pharmaceutical retail enterprises posted RMB143,982.52 million as a percentage of 33.4% in the total. Sinopharm, the largest pharmaceutical retail enterprise in China, secured the sales of RMB12250.53 million in 2018, equivalent to 2.8% of the total.
Huge potentials of the pharmaceutical distribution industry has lured investors and frequent M&As occurred over the recent years. With the in-rush of capital, pharmaceutical distribution companies are heading from traditional endogenous growth (such as adding products, developing customers and opening new stores) to the extensional growth like mergers and acquisitions, and the industry is increasingly concentrated.
