Vietnam's modern retail pharmacy chain Pharmacity has just announced the outstanding business results of 2021, eyeing a sharp growth in diverse business metrics.

Pharmacity has expanded its system by more than 50 per cent with about 800 pharmacies nationwide, recording 27 million transactions. The number of customers exceeded 7 million, and the company counted $155 million in revenues, more than double of 2020’s figure.

The retail chain also recorded the highest customer satisfaction score based on Cimigo's research in 202 and became a profitable business from July according to the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation index.

Pharmacity is strengthening its digital infrastructure to prepare for its expansion and the rapid rollout of online business by 2025.

“I am so thankful to all of our customers who supported and trusted us during such a challenging year,” said Chris Blank, founder and CEO of Pharmacity. “I attribute our success this year to the quality of our products, our diverse range of more than 7,800 items, and the competitive pricing we offer to our customers.”

Chris Blank emphasised that customers are the company’s clear focus.

“Right now, our highest priority is to ensure a stable supply of test kits, masks, and COVID-19 medicine. Pharmacity is the leading and largest brand in the market, and I do not take that for granted. We are acutely aware that we owe everything to our customers,” Chris Blank said.

By 2025, Pharmacity plans to have 5,000 stores nationwide, with the goal of serving half of the country’s population within 10 minutes of their homes. Pharmacity is strengthening its digital infrastructure to prepare for its expansion and the rapid rollout of online business by 2025. This ambitious plan will lead Pharmacity to a turnover surpassing $3 billion and create jobs for over 35,000 Vietnamese people.
