BOLOGNA \u2013 During the Covid emergency\u00a0pharmacies have also undergone a digital transformation<\/strong>. And e-commerce is just one aspect of this 'wave' of digitalisation. Just think of apps, devices\u00a0telemedicine<\/strong>, to the doctor's remote contacts with patients. Even in the post-pandemic, the online channel continues to grow. On the other hand,\u00a084% of consumers believe that the pharmacy and pharmacist will have an increasingly important role in the future to give health advice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This is the photograph taken by\u00a0Iqvia<\/strong>, a global provider of data in healthcare, pharmaceutical, innovative technologies, consulting and clinical research services,\"\"<\/a> presented in Bologna as part of Cosmofarma 'Incontri Ritrattiti', which closed on 13 May. The two researches are: "The pharmacy of services between physical and digital", edited by\u00a0Isabella Cecchini<\/strong>; "The pharmacist 3.0 and the hybrid consumer, new strategy approaches to remain competitive" edited by\u00a0Francesco Cavone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to Iqvia's findings,\u00a0in the last 12 months\u00a0<\/strong>(from April 1 2021 to March 31 2022)\u00a0pharmacy turnover grew by 2.2%, returning to the levels of two years ago<\/strong>. While ethical turnover is suffering, commercial grows by 7.3% compared to 2020. Among the trends that see an increase are mainly supplements (+7% in 2022 on 2020) and parapharmaceuticals (+38% on 2020).\u00a0In the first quarter of 2022, pharmacies increased in number and chains consolidated<\/strong>, services and also online have grown, thanks to the emergence of\u00a0new models for e-commerce\u00a0<\/strong>and e-retailers. New healthcare models have evolved in the area and patient\/consumer behavior has changed.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the average entrances of customers to the pharmacy, in the first quarter of 2022, dropped by 5.2% compared to the last quarter of last year (quarter in which there were queues to get swabs) and\u00a0the average value of the receipt was 25.6 euros<\/strong>. \"\"<\/a>From the data presented by Iqvia, it also appears that\u00a0the average discount of online on offline is 33% for self-medication products, 26% for supplements, 29% for parapharmaceuticals, 22% for hygiene and beauty, 13% for nutritional<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The most purchased products<\/strong>\u00a0in the last 12 months have been i\u00a0over-the-counter medicines for flu, cough and seasonal illnesses\u00a0<\/strong>(63%), followed by\u00a0multivitamin supplements<\/strong>\u00a0(58%) and from those for the\u00a0gastric and intestinal function<\/strong>\u00a0(42%). Medicines were purchased at 63% in-store and 25% online.<\/p>\n

The share of e-commerce in particular is divided between online pharmacy (46%) and Amazon (40%)<\/strong>. Purchases on the web are preferred above all for convenience (37%) and for the possibility of receiving the products at home (20%).\u00a0What holds back e-commerce, however, is the preference for physical pharmacies (24%) and distrust in online purchases (16%)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And again, the 42% of the Italians used i\u00a0services offered by pharmacies<\/strong>\u00a0(especially for common exams and for home delivery) \"\"<\/a>and over a third of those have started doing so as a result of the pandemic. The 62% also thinks that online shopping does not diminish the importance of the physical pharmacy.<\/p>\n

Finally, from Iqvia's investigations it emerges that\u00a0the main health problems of Italians are high blood pressure\u00a0<\/strong>(17%),\u00a0cholesterol\u00a0<\/strong>And\u00a0high triglycerides<\/strong>\u00a0(16%),\u00a0obesity\u00a0<\/strong>(12%),\u00a0joint and rheumatic pains<\/strong>\u00a0(11%). In 2021, attention to healthy eating (it is important for the 77%) and to regular sporting activity (practicing the 32%) has increased, while the proportion of people who undergo regular medical checks has decreased (the does the 42%).<\/p>\n
