          Competitive Landscape Brief

          Demand is driven by the aging of the US population and advances in medical treatment. The profitability of individual companies depends on access to medical insurance groups. Large companies have economies of scale in purchasing and in access to large groups of customers. Small companies can compete effectively through convenient location or special merchandising. The industry is capital-intensive: average annual revenue per employee is $300,000. Chain drug stores account about 50 percent of the retail prescription market, according to Drug Channels. Independent drug stores and mail-order sales each account for about 20 percent; pharmacies at supermarkets account for the remainder. Drug stores that also sell general merchandise compete with grocery stores, discount department stores, and other retailers.
