Poland's wholesale pharmaceuticals market grew by 3.8 percent to PLN 5.87 billion in Q2 2016 in annual terms and declined by 7.4 percent in quarterly terms, market researcher IMS Health's general director Maciej Kuźmierkiewicz told the Polish Press Agency (PAP). The figure is expected to grow by 3.5-5.0 percent in FY 2016.
"A lower rate of growth in 2016 vis-a-vis 2015 will result from lower consumption of drugs and price changes," Kuźmierkiewicz commented, adding that prices had a negative impact on the market value in H1.
The pharmacy market alone increased by 3.9 percent y/y and decreased by 9.3 percent q/q. The hospital market grew both y/y and q/q, by 3.1 percent and 2.5 percent respectively.
