Thailand Pharmacy Retail Market Growth

Non - communicable diseases account for 400,000 fatalities annually in Thailand. With men being more susceptible to contracting these infections (18%) as compared to women (11%), a strong pharmacy market is essential for boosting the labour force productivity and driving economic growth. By 2031, nearly 30% of Thailand’s population is expected to be older than 60 years, leading to an increase in the demand for medical equipment and prescribed drugs.

The  provision of home services for dispensing certain medications is also emerging as one of the key market trends. Moreover, the low cost of medications in Thailand is a significant opportunity for foreigners to avail high-quality treatment at a lower cost. This makes Thailand an attractive destination for seeking medical treatments.

With the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning tools in pharmacies, manual tasks like cross-checking prescription papers and sorting the right medicines are expected to become automated, which can enable pharmacists to give expert guidance to patients regarding drug dosage and ingredients. The provision of primary care services and mental health packages is also expected to drive the market growth in the forecast period.
