Pharmacy Market Review 2025
Key Themes
“I’m pleased to present our Pharmacy Market Review 2025, which analyses the pharmacy sector in H2 2024 and H1 2025 in terms of market activity, notable events, and key trends shaping the sector’s future.
“Over the past year, the main issue that dominated discussions among contractors and trade associations was the urgent need for clarity on pharmacy funding. This arrived on 31 March, when the Department of Health and Social Care, NHS England, and Community Pharmacy England jointly announced the funding arrangements for the Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework for 2024/25 and 2025/26, including the Pharmacy First initiative.
“As with previous years, we compare key financial metrics using transactional and valuation data compiled by our consultancy team at Christie & Co. As 2024 marked our busiest year yet, with our teams advising, selling, and valuing circa 770 pharmacies with a combined value of over £580 million, there is a lot to explore. We also revisit the market’s composition and examine how ongoing corporate disposals in 2024 and 2025 continued to reshape pharmacy ownership 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.”
