In October 2011, Hamacher Resource Group (HRG), the Healthcare Distribution Management Association (HDMA) and the Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA) released a  white paper titled Supply Chain Collaboration: Maximizing Health, Beauty, and Wellness Product Sales in Independent Pharmacy. This original research revealed six non-prescription product categories that performed better in independent pharmacies than in their chain drug counterparts. The paper further discussed healthcare trends poised to have an impact on the drug retailing industry. This report will divulge additional analysis and insight into what factors help stimulate growth in the categories that are driving the independent pharmacy front-end.
