Sales of healthcare products from manufacturers through distributors to retailers continues to grow steadily due to strong market growth and increased demand for generic pharmaceuticals. It is estimated that roughly 80% of all industry sales move through an HDMA member distributor. This percent is likely to increase as market complexity and additional government regulation fuels the need for specialized supply chain services.
