"For the overall purpose, the key lies in the" modern "two characters.

Although in July 2016, the State Administration of food and drug administration called on the Internet third party platform online drugstore retail pilot work, but it did not have much impact on the online pharmacies that have already got B certificate and C certificate enterprise qualification. The standard market will bring greater dividends to the regular pharmaceutical business, create a new "blue sea" "." It is reported that at present, although the third party platform can not directly carry out drug trading, but can be used for drug store online drug display, users will click on the purchase will also directly jump to the pharmacy website to achieve transactions. In the future, the Internet technology and modern logistics will be an important way for the pharmaceutical circulation enterprises to improve their competitiveness, according to the industry expert Yin and Xiao.
Under the promotion of various policies, many pharmaceutical retail chain enterprises have built their own Internet docking platform. For example, a good pharmacist's drugstore has opened a flagship shop in the Jingdong, Tmall and other platforms, carrying out the whole network coverage marketing, realizing the line and line integration, "online pharmacies + entity Drugstore" model. In order to match the O2O layout of Jiuzhou Tong Group, a good pharmacist pharmacist announced that it plans to add 30 stores in Beijing's five rings this year to achieve "24 hours of drug delivery, 1 hours must reach" in the city's core area.
Industry experts say, with a series of policies such as "planning" landing, "13th Five-Year", large drug circulation enterprises will accelerate integration and expansion through mergers and acquisitions, listing and financing, issuing bonds and other ways. A batch of pharmaceutical companies such as benevolence and medicine are expected to continue to feed "Internet + medicine" in a group of early medical O2O business. "Industry cake, which means that the pharmaceutical circulation enterprises that conform to the trend of industrial development are expected to gain more growth than industry growth, and those who stick to the traditional industry will be eliminated.
