Institutions like hospitals are so well equipped that they offer a one-stop solution to patients; whereas, retail pharmacies offer convenient solutions to both chronic and acute problems as generally no prior prescription from a medical practitioner is required while making a purchase. Derisory infrastructure in squalid areas makes it hard for online pharmacies to offer their services; therefore, buying from offline platforms is the only option that people have. Furthermore, the offline segment is estimated to be the fastest-growing with a CAGR of 22.8% over the forecast period 2022-2027. Unlike, online platforms, in retail or hospital pharmacies it is easy to explain health problems to doctors or pharmacists.
