Pharmacy Market Review 2026
Highlights
“I’m pleased to present our Pharmacy Market Review 2026, which explores the key developments, market activity, and trends shaping the future of the pharmacy sector.
“2025 was another strong year for the market, following a record 2024, with our pharmacy team advising on, agreeing, or selling around 900 pharmacies with a combined value of £600 million.
"Over the past year, pharmacies have continued to face challenges including medicines supply issues, rising operating costs, and workforce pressures. However, following the funding uplift announced in 2025 and the latest Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework settlement for 2026/27, there are signs of improving confidence and profitability across the market. As in previous years, we compare key financial metrics using our in-depth transactional and valuation data. We also revisit the composition of the pharmacy market, examine key dispensing and services trends, and explore the factors driving transaction activity, valuations, and investment appetite across the UK.
“I hope you find the review both interesting and informative, and should you wish to discuss any part of it further, do not hesitate to contact us (details below).”
