    2014-01-07 source: drugstores in the 21st century in 2013, pharmaceutical related policies came out frequently, the formal implementation of the newly revised GSP, the support of the state for the health service industry, the trial sale of infant formula milk powder in drugstores, etc brought varying degrees of impact to the development of China's pharmaceutical retail market; At the same time, with the further implementation of basic drug policy and the development of regional drug retail enterprises, the competition in regional retail market is becoming more and more fierce According to their own characteristics, pharmaceutical retail enterprises have also formulated slightly different development priorities in different regional market environments, so that the regional market presents its own characteristics In this issue, we choose five regional drug retail markets to see what drugstores in these places are busy with in 2013 Beijing and Shandong: regional cooperation highlights that Beijing small chain and group cooperation Beijing drug retail market has always been stable However, since 2013, its interior has gradually changed, and the undercurrent of regional integration has been gradually reflected In April 2013, the group cooperation of three private chain drugstores, Beijing Yishou Minmin pharmacy Co., Ltd., Beijing kelkang pharmacy Co., Ltd and Beijing zhengjitang pharmaceutical Supermarket Co., Ltd., attracted wide attention of the industry Although each of the three chains has an average of more than 10 stores, in addition to the unified management of the operation Department, the integration of the back door stores will not change, and the procurement will also operate according to the original platform, but the three chains still let the industry see the subtle changes in the Beijing market In addition, in May 2013, the Beijing drugstore Alliance announced the introduction of Zhang Xiaoping, chairman of Beijing yicalmly Technology Co., Ltd., with industrial background, as the executive secretary general to operate the alliance Since the establishment of Beijing drugstore alliance, the sales volume has increased to 3.05 billion yuan It is hoped that by injecting new blood to drive the innovation and development of the alliance, the sales volume will exceed 5 billion yuan Therefore, under the adverse factors such as the continuous increase of operating cost, the inclination of medical reform policy to primary medical institutions, the stricter access policy of drugstores, and the limited development of non drugs, the small and medium-sized chain enterprises in Beijing drug retail market are embracing a group to deal with it Dalian lock is actively seeking opportunities for merger and acquisition cooperation, and the alliance is constantly seeking breakthroughs The regional expansion of Shandong Province has been dominated by groups of feudal lords, and the regional chains of cities and regions have each taken one side However, since 2013, the local princes have entered the stage of cross regional development At the end of 2012, Jinan Shuyu civilian pharmacy Co., Ltd joined hands with Yantai pharmaceutical mall to open a new business, and sounded the call to enter Yantai Li Wenjie, chairman of the company, said Yantai will be one of the main markets for future development of the company At present, the integration of two chain drugstores purchased by Shuyu civilians in Yantai has been completed Shandong yanxitang pharmaceutical chain Co., Ltd., based on Weihai pharmaceutical retail market in Shandong Province, also entered Yantai pharmaceutical retail market in the second half of 2012 by means of M & A after gaining regional advantages in Weihai region Yu Zhigang, chairman of yanxitang, said that yanxitang hopes to strive to break through 1.2 billion yuan in sales scale and 500 stores by 2015 Therefore, yanxitang will expand through multiple channels such as M & A and self opening stores, and the expansion scope will be carried out in the province The next step after Yantai market consolidation will be to enter Qingdao Yantai's base constantly welcomes new rivals Shandong Lijian pharmaceutical City Chain Co., Ltd., which started Yantai, naturally has not been idle, aiming at the provincial capital Jinan Since the beginning of June 2013, Lijian pharmaceutical city has successively completed the M & a project of two chain drugstores in Jinan market, and successfully realized equity cooperation with Jinan Shennong pharmaceutical chain Co., Ltd.; and then acquired Jinan Quancheng pharmacy Co., Ltd wholly Lijian medical city has more than 70 stores in Jinan The top three pharmaceutical chains in Shandong have entered each other's territory, and the trans regional "Three Kingdoms killing" drama is still on Interestingly, the competition of Shandong drugstores is accompanied by friendly cooperation On September 25, 2013, the second anniversary celebration of Shandong Luhe pharmaceutical investment Co., Ltd was held in Jinan, which was jointly funded by the 11 largest pharmaceutical chain enterprises in Shandong Province, including Jinan Shuyu civilian pharmacy Co., Ltd., Shandong Kangyuan Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd and Qingdao Medical Insurance City pharmaceutical chain Co., Ltd In the past two years, Luhe has turned losses into profits At the same time, it has begun to transform from joint acquisition to providing services to suppliers and shareholders in an all-round way, becoming a model of provincial pharmacy alliance Li Wenjie said that in 2012, Luhe completed 147 million yuan of procurement and 85 million yuan in the first half of 2013 Luhe requires all shareholders to take seriously and complete Luhe's orders, and abide by enterprise rules It is strictly prohibited to involve Luhe's products in the competition among shareholders Both Luhe and its shareholders can work together to make Luhe and its chain drugstores develop together, and can also accept the competition and cooperation with other shareholders in the development Sichuan: the door of examination and approval for the shortage of licensed pharmacists is reopened in Sichuan, and Chengdu pharmaceutical retail market is a relatively good regional market The drug retail industry in Chengdu has the characteristics of "small, scattered and numerous" In December 2012, Chengdu suspended the acceptance and approval of newly established drug retail enterprises On June 1, 2013, the regulations on the approval and supervision of drug retail enterprises in Chengdu was officially implemented, and the approval of newly established drug retail enterprises was resumed from June 3 From the perspective of the new regulations, first, it encourages the development of chain stores and clarifies the conditions for the establishment of drug retail chain stores For example, it stipulates that more than 10 independent monomer pharmacies can be established as drug retail chain stores; Secondly, local adjustment has been made to the business area of drug retail enterprises, which stipulates that the business area of chain stores can be reduced by 20 square meters on the basis of the original standard, while the single drugstore keeps the original standard unchanged The second is to improve the overall requirements for the qualification of pharmaceutical technicians in pharmacies, and stipulate that the newly opened retail pharmacies after June 1, 2013 must be "equipped with licensed pharmacists" Remote service is not only the "reviewer" As early as 2012, Chengdu adopted the way of training "prescription reviewer" to improve the pharmaceutical service level of pharmacy practitioners In October 2013, Chengdu food and Drug Administration officially released the notice on doing a good job in remote pharmaceutical services for licensed pharmacists, which clarified the current situation of using remote audit method to alleviate the shortage of licensed pharmacists However, Chengdu food and drug administration also said that remote examination is not an alternative to on-site pharmaceutical services, but only a supplementary measure, which will fade out when the number of licensed pharmacists gradually meets the needs Guangdong: the construction of drug price stores is listed as one of the ten practical things for people's livelihood in Guangdong Province The purpose is to restrain the phenomenon of virtual high market commodity prices through price guidance It is planned that by the end of 2013, 300 drug parity stores will be opened In August 2013, the price bureau of Guangdong Province and other six departments jointly issued the notice on printing and distributing the construction plan of drug parity stores in Guangdong Province (for Trial Implementation), and decided to comprehensively carry out the construction of drug parity stores in Guangdong Province on the basis of preliminary pilot According to the regulations, the price of affordable drugs in listed pharmacies must be lower than 5% of the price of surrounding hospitals and pharmacies The price of affordable drugs sold in pharmaceutical affordable stores should be no less than 15 categories, no less than 200 dosage forms in principle, and no less than 100 dosage forms in principle; There is a high degree of overlap between the affordable varieties and the list of essential drugs, and the regulations also clearly require that the proportion of common disease, chronic disease treatment drugs and OTC drugs with large sales volume in all affordable varieties should be more than 70% As of November 2013, 385 affordable pharmacies have been opened in Guangdong Province, covering all cities and regions of the province, focusing on drug retail enterprises with strength and brand influence According to statistics, from January to October 2013, the business volume of drug parity stores in Guangdong Province reached 113 million yuan, giving over 7 million yuan to the profit-making masses In addition to focusing on promoting the construction of affordable drug stores, the diversification of drug stores in Guangdong Province is also at the forefront of the country due to the relatively mature market cultivation and high consumer acceptance In March 2013, the administrative measures for designated retail pharmacies of Guangzhou Medical Insurance (Draft for comments) was released, which made the diversified pharmacies feel greatly uneasy The regulations require that retail pharmacies should set up closed special areas and establish separate charging system to manage non-medical supplies; the proportion of the use area of closed special areas in the total use area of pharmacies should not be more than 30% According to the draft, most of Guangzhou chain drugstores put forward suggestions for revision Through multi-party communication and coordination, on July 22, the administrative measures for designated retail pharmacies of Guangzhou Medical Insurance (hereinafter referred to as the "measures") was officially issued, and the corresponding terms were revised to "the occupied area of medical insurance service area should be more than 60 square meters." At the same time, the retail drugstores operating non-medical supplies shall set up a physical isolation area outside the special medical insurance service area " The change of detailed rules ensures the steady development of Guangzhou drugstore diversification and greatly improves the flexibility of drugstore diversification In addition, according to the requirements of the measures, the scope of medical supplies sold to the insured of the basic medical insurance is limited to: drugs, medical devices, health food (with the "health food" logo), cosmetics for special purposes (with the "special makeup" commodity), disinfection supplies (with the "Weixiao" commodity) The limited scope is relatively loose, which has played a considerable role in promoting the sales of large health categories in drugstores With the guarantee of the policy, the diversified steps of Guangzhou drugstores are further accelerated As the leader of drug retail market in Guangdong Province, Guangdong DASHENLIN chain drugstore Co., Ltd began to transform large-scale stores purposefully and pertinently according to the change of consumer demand The first goal is the traditional affordable pharmacy, mainly some ordinary community stores with small area; the second is the health complex pharmacy, similar to Watson's and Wanning; the third is the store equipped with the sitting doctor Guangzhou Jianmin Pharmaceutical Chain Co., Ltd., an old chain drugstore in Guangzhou, started to upgrade its 28 stores in 2013 under the trend of diversification Personal care area is a new category of Jianmin pharmacy, and it is also a new attempt of Jianmin medicine to diversify pharmacy The transformation of the store means that it will lead the transformation of Jianmin medicine from the specialized sale of equipment to the direction of "health and beauty" Shanghai: there has been a 300 meter opening distance limit in Shanghai Pharmaceutical retail market for a long time, so the number of pharmacies in Shanghai has been in a stable state for many years, and the pace of expansion has been greatly limited However, under the influence of loose and standardized policies, the competition in Shanghai drug retail market is reflected in upgrading and improving service quality In 2013, many drugstores in Shanghai made "big efforts" to renovate their stores 2013 is the second year of upgrading and transformation of Shanghai Fumei pharmacy In June, Fumei pharmacy completed the upgrading of more than 40 Direct stores Wu Yijian, general manager of Shanghai Fumei Yixing pharmacy chain Co., Ltd., said that the transformation project of Fumei Yixing pharmacy will be as long as 3
