The Canadian pharmacy market is projected to grow significantly from $44.5 billion in 2019 to an undetermined amount by 2028, driven by factors such as rising health expenditures, increased disposable income, and a growing geriatric population. The market dynamics are impacted by competition, mergers, and regulatory frameworks, with major players like Shoppers Drug Mart and McKesson at the forefront. Despite challenges such as capped reimbursements for generic drugs, the sector is expected to thrive due to ongoing consolidation and diversification, along with a heightened demand for non-prescription products amid the pandemic.
