The Kuwaiti retail pharmacy market is still in its early stages of development and has grown at a positive single digit CAGR during the forecast period as a result of the rising prevalence of diseases like obesity, infectious diseases, and chronic illnesses like cancer in the country as well as the rise in pharmaceutical imports. It has been highlighted that the trend toward preventive healthcare grew along with an increase in healthcare knowledge throughout the study period, encouraging the expansion of the food supplement and cosmetics industries in addition to the OTC category. A rise in demand for weight reduction formulas, smoking cessation aids, and vitamins and supplements has also benefited the retail pharmacy sector. On the other hand, the growth of the healthcare sector has caused both independent and chain pharmacies to proliferate across the country.

The Kuwait pharmacy retail market is predicted to grow at a positive single digit CAGR over the course of the forecast period. Retail pharmacy industry will be significantly influenced by Kuwait's improved healthcare infrastructure, which includes an increase in the number of hospitals, pharmacy clusters, and primary care clinics. Furthermore, due to the high prevalence of contagious diseases, the wide distribution of generic pharmaceuticals, the rise in purchasing power, the affordability of healthcare products, and the developing over-the-counter drug market, Kuwait's retail pharmacy business will keep growing.

COVID-19 has forced the government to establish strict social segregation legislation. In addition to altering the way things are today, these activities have more long-term effects. The lockdown had an effect on all retail operations besides the pharmacy and supermarket. As a result of the Covid-19 outbreak, attitudes have drastically shifted, and an increasing number of people now recognize that prevention is always better to cure. Because more individuals are becoming health-conscious, the market for health and wellness products is expanding even more quickly as a result of increased levels of disposable income. All these recent changes in lifestyle and health attitudes seem to be making the neighbourhood pharmacy a trustworthy partner for customers in the retail pharmacy business. Pharmaceutical services can be accessed via the phone, via chat, delivery service apps, or even just by walking into the store. Pharmacies have used collaborations with hospitals or doctors in addition to these more current digital tools to increase their Radius of Influence (ROI). Digital technology has enabled pharmacists to provide services within a particular radius, and the difference this has brought about is obvious.

Pharmacists may become increasingly more crucial to the system as the healthcare industry gains in importance. Future organized pharmacy stores may be better able to provide patients with individualized and patient-friendly services rather than just dispensing medications, and they may shift more and more in that direction.
