Analysts of the DSM Group marketing agency, which specializes in the research of the pharmaceutical market, compiled a rating of the largest pharmacy chains in Russia according to the results of the first half of 2025
In 2025, the Russian pharmaceutical market continues to demonstrate impressive dynamics, as evidenced by updated ratings of pharmacy chains on the retail market. The analysis of the data for the first half of the year allows you to identify not only the main players, but also the key trends that form the future industry.
The pharmaceutical top headed the Rigla network with a sales volume of 130.9 billion rubles. The growth of this indicator in the company was 47 % compared to the period: January – June 2024. In Russia, the pharmaceutical enterprise has 6207 sales points.
The April network has almost three thousand more trading branches (9139), but it took only second place in the ranking. The sales volume of 126 billion rubles with an increase of 48 %.
The Planet of Health improved sales by 29 % and was on the third line with a retail turnover of 81.8 billion. Moreover, this network has only 2.9 thousand outlets, which is significantly smaller than two leaders.
Leading pharmacy networks, such as Rigla and Planet of Health, continue to strengthen their positions, largely due to the active implementation of digital technologies. Their mobile applications offer not only a convenient search and ordering of drugs, but also access to personalized discounts, loyalty programs, and the possibility of obtaining online consultations. Fast and reliable delivery, organized with the help of modern logistics solutions, becomes one of the key factors in attracting and holding customers.
Magnet Pharmacy demonstrates an example of successful integration of the pharmaceutical business into a large retail network. The location of the pharmacy points in walking distance from the house, the ability to make purchases in the format of one window, the use of digital services to manage reserves and interacting with customers allow them to quickly increase the market share. This approach shows how the merger between different segments of retail can become a powerful growth driver.
In addition to digitalization, the quality of customer service is crucial. The modern consumer appreciates not only the availability and cost of drugs, but also the professionalism of the pharmacists, their willingness to provide a qualified consultation, a friendly atmosphere in the pharmacy. Companies that invest in staff training introduce service standards and loyalty programs, form stronger and more long -term relationships with their customers.
It is expected that the trends of digitalization and customer focus will only intensify. Pharmacy networks that can offer the convenience of online orders, quick delivery and quality maintenance in offline-points will occupy a leading position. Further development of telemedicine and personalized pharmacy will open new opportunities for growth.
