More than half of the population visiting a Pharmacy store belongs to this elderly age group. In the past 20 years, the proportion of the population aged 65 years and over increased from 12.3% in 1999 to 15.9% in 2019 in Australia. The growth in population proportion further increased health consciousness & the number of prescriptions as well as a steady demand for health and wellness products in Pharmacies in Australia.

Total insured patients reach 13.6 Million in June 2020. Major Private Health insurers delayed scheduled annual premium increases for six months as a result of the pandemic & other private health insurers resumed annual premium increase from October 2020.

Impact of COVID-19 on Australia Pharmacy Retail Market: COVID19 has severely impacted all the industries across the Globe. The Pharmacy Guild of Australia and the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia, in consultation with the Department of Health, ensured equitable access to medicines for all Australians by limiting dispensing and sales of prescription and over-the-counter medicines. A decline of 30%-40% was recorded in terms of customer footfall in the country during the lockdown.
