The online pharmacy market in Europe is growing at a healthy rate. The online pharma distribution channel is the most common way of buying OTC and prescription medical products, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. There is a high penetration of the online pharmacy market in the Netherlands, the UK, Switzerland, and Germany in the European Union. The market is in a growth stage in various European countries due to the high internet penetration rate, growing self-medication, and the introduction of e-prescriptions in various countries. The market is strengthened with the presence of key players in the online pharmacy market, such as Zur Rose Group and SHOP APOTHEKE. These are two major market competitors that account for a higher market share across Europe and in global markets.
OTC Drugs Market to Boom in the Upcoming Years
OTC drugs are medications consumers can purchase without a prescription at drug stores and online platforms, while prescription drugs demand a prescription from an authorized person. The rules for online pharmacies are different in various countries. There is a definition of what is a prescription drug and what is not, which means that some drugs available only with a prescription in some EU countries may be obtained without one elsewhere. The use of OTC medicines increases over time due to increased health awareness and self-medication among consumers. Many pharmaceutical companies manufacture OTC medicines and provide them globally.
Online pharmacies receive higher requests for OTC and prescription medicines. OTC drugs do not require doctors’ or healthcare specialists’ prescriptions, reducing the barriers to e-pharmacies. Prescription medicines, drugs, and medical devices can also be ordered through e-pharmacies. Self-medication preference is a common term where OTC drugs are commonly used and purchased through e-pharmacies in Europe. OTC drugs are the majorly preferred medicines as the first line of treatment due to no stringent regulations and restrictions. OTC drugs do not have critical complexities for distribution compared with prescription drugs.
