    With the advancement of a series of medical reform policies such as volume procurement, DRGs payment, and reduction of the proportion of drugs, the outflow of prescription drugs in the hospital market is accelerating, and it is expected to form a 100 billion-level out-of-hospital prescription drug market.
    In the long run, the drugstore industry will bring room for growth
    .
    In this context, the number of new companies entering the bureau continues to grow
    .
    According to the "Statistical Report on Drug Supervision and Administration" in the second quarter of 2021 by the State Drug Administration, the number of pharmacies across the country has reached 579,000, and more than 25,000 were newly added in the first half of this year alone
    .
    It is worth mentioning that while a number of new companies are entering the market, the chain drugstore giants are also accelerating the pace of acquisitions, and the concentration of the entire industry continues to increase
    .
    In this process, accompanied by a tragic reshuffle process, a group of pharmacies are leaving the market sadly
    .
    Take Guangdong Province as an example.
    According to incomplete statistics, from January to September this year, Guangdong Province cancelled a total of 2,163 pharmaceutical business licenses
    .
    More than 100 pharmacies in Luoding City, Yingde City, Xuwen County, Suixi County and other places in Guangdong Province have left the market.
    Most of them are single pharmacies, but there are also some chain pharmacies
    .
    For example, two branches of Huatuo Sinopharm (Guangdong) Pharmacy Co.
    , Ltd.
    , Lihuichun Pharmacy in Affiliated City of Luoding City, multiple branches of Guangdong Guanai Pharmacy Chain Co.
    , Ltd.
    , branches of Guangdong Sunshine Pharmacy Pharmacy Co.
    , Ltd.
    , Qingyuan City Qing city Zhiyuan pharmacies
    .
    Judging from the reasons for the cancellation of drug business licenses by pharmacies, the basic reasons are "certificate expired", "not renewed after expiration", "enterprise active application" and so on
    .
    According to statistics, in the past three years, the number of pharmacies that have cancelled drug business licenses in Guangdong Province has doubled: in 2019 and 2020, 450 and 1229 were cancelled, and a total of 2163 were cancelled by September 2021
    .
    In addition to Guangdong Province, Shaanxi Province, Henan Province, Sichuan Province, Liaoning Province, Yunnan Province, Jiangsu Province and other places have also issued announcements on the cancellation of drug business licenses this year, and a large number of pharmacies are accelerating their withdrawal from the market. .
    For example, on October 22, the Jiangsu Provincial Food and Drug Administration issued an announcement (No.
    0009 of 2021) on the cancellation of the drug business license.
    According to relevant regulations, after a written application by Wuxi Shanhe Group Sinopharm Co.
    , Ltd.
    , the bureau decided to cancel Wuxi Mountain "Drug Distribution License" issued by He Group Sinopharm Co.
    , Ltd.
    ; on October 26, the Yunnan Provincial Food and Drug Administration issued an announcement on the cancellation of the "Drug Distribution License" of Yunnan Tongfeng Pharmaceutical Co.
    , Ltd.
    (2021 No.
    13), the announcement It is shown that in accordance with the application of Yunnan Tongfeng Pharmaceutical Co.
    , Ltd.
    and Yunnan Lijiang Pharmaceutical Co.
    , Ltd.
    , and in accordance with relevant regulations, the "Drug Business License" of Yunnan Tongfeng Pharmaceutical Co.
    , Ltd.
    and Yunnan Lijiang Pharmaceutical Co.
    , Ltd.
    is now cancelled and announced
    .
    Since the date of the announcement, the "Drug Business License" of the above-mentioned enterprises no longer has the corresponding legal effect
    .
    From the perspective of the industry, the reasons why some pharmacies actively choose to withdraw from the market are closely related to the market policy environment
    .
    In recent years, with the introduction of policies such as the two-invoice system, consistency evaluation, Internet +, medical insurance control fees, and national centralized procurement, the price reduction of drugs has become a major trend.
    The profit space of pharmaceutical companies has been continuously Regulatory costs, etc.
    , continue to increase, and large-scale chains continue to squeeze in competition.
    Therefore, many small and medium-sized pharmacies with weak commodity bargaining power and defects in operation and management cannot continue to operate and make the decision to withdraw
    .
    The industry predicts that in the next period of time, there will be many pharmacies that will accelerate their elimination in this "cold winter".
    At the same time, after the bird is vacated, the good currency will usher in better and faster development, and the entire industry will continue to continue.
    Exuberant vitality and vitality
