Pharmacity is the largest pharmacy chain in Vietnam. The company is and will continue to be the most convenient pharmacy chain where Vietnamese people can fully entrust their health and wellness. As the first modern pharmacy chain and brand in Vietnam, Pharmacity is a pioneer in the pharmaceutical sector in the country.

Founded in 2011, Pharmacity operates over 700 stores in 20 out of 63 provinces, three centralised distribution centres and a fully integrated logistics network with 5,000 skilled employees (of which over 70% are pharmacists).

Pharmacity's stores offer a large and diverse range of pharmaceuticals in addition to personal care products, vitamins and supplements with nearly 7,000 products available from trusted suppliers at competitive prices.

Brand Elements
Pharmacity is a pioneer in the pharmaceutical sector in Vietnam, creating the first modern pharmacy chain and brand in the country that offers convenience and product variety with a price and quality brand promise to its customers. In April 2021, the company celebrated the opening of its 500th store in Ho Chi Minh City, and it opened its 600th store in May of the same year.

At Pharmacity, everyone is committed to carrying out the company’s mission to build the most convenient pharmacy chain where all Vietnamese people can fully entrust their health and wellness.

Pharmacity plans to open 5,000 stores in Vietnam by 2025, enabling 50% of the population access to a Pharmacity store within a ten-minute drive.

Inspiring Identity
Pharmacity’s ambition was to create the first modern pharmacy chain and brand in the country, offering convenience and product variety with a price and quality brand promise to customers. As the company grows, so does its commitment to helping raise awareness of the importance of healthcare.

The company opened its first store in 2011. At the time, the country was developing rapidly and regulations kept evolving. It was both an exciting and challenging time to start a business in Vietnam.

Ten years later, Pharmacity is now operating more than 700 stores. Customers are at the heart of everything it does, and Pharmacity has made a great effort to serve all consumer requests as well as keep its commitment to providing quality products at affordable prices.

Its business is technology-integrated, and moving towards digital transformation is a key focus for the company. Pharmacity is always looking to launch market-leading technology to apply to its operations and working processes which aim to enhance productivity, creativity, efficiency and elevate the customer experience.

Moreover, giving back to local communities is one of Pharmacity's key priorities. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the company has made numerous donations to hospitals that needed critical supplies. Although its operations were impacted by social distancing, Pharmacity’s management team and employees were motivated to serve the community and ensure the continuance of its operations and supply chain.

Achievements & Impact
Pharmacity has the highest brand equity of any pharmacy retail channel in Vietnam and a higher customer satisfaction score compared to its competitors (according to Nielson and Cimigo).

Pharmacity has over 700 stores that are conveniently located across 20 out of 63 provinces in Vietnam. Pharmacity is already present in all of Vietnam's major cities, including Ho Chi Minh City, Danang, Can Tho, Binh Duong, Hai Phong, and Hanoi. It plans to continue its expansion to further carry out its mission.

Future Direction
Looking forward, Pharmacity will continue its expansion plans to help provide better access to healthcare for all Vietnamese. Pharmacity plans to open 5,000 stores in Vietnam by 2025, enabling 50% of the population access to a Pharmacity store within a ten-minute drive.

This ambitious plan will lead Pharmacity to create a workforce of more than 35,000 skilled employees, which is a tremendous increase from the current 5,000 employees. The company also aims to develop a healthcare ecosystem, integrating its traditional retail business with primary medical services, insurance products and healthcare services.
