Drugstore increases share in FMCG market

THE accessibility of pharmaceutical channels in the Philippines plays a vital role in securing a place for drugstores in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) segment.

Alexandre Duterrage, general manager at Kantar Worldpanel, said in a recent media briefing in Makati City that local buyers continue to choose the convenient way of purchasing consumer goods, giving Mercury Drug Corp. the advantage over other retail leaders in the country.
