The overall turnover of pharmacies in Estonia saw an increase of 8% compared to the previous year, amounting to 641 million euros. This growth reflects a significant rise in the pharmacy sector's performance, highlighting an expanding demand for pharmaceutical services.

Specifically, the turnover from medicines grew by 10% in 2025, which points to an increasing reliance on both prescription and over-the-counter medications among the population. Prescription medications alone contributed to an 11% increase, while non-prescription drugs (OTCs) saw a more modest growth of 6%. This trend suggests a changing landscape in healthcare, where more people are likely seeking pharmaceutical care for their health needs.

Additionally, the turnover from other goods in pharmacies increased by 3%, indicating that pharmacies are diversifying their offerings and growing beyond just medications. This can be interpreted as a response to consumer demands for convenience as well as a reaction to broader health trends, likely influenced by the ongoing developments in public health and consumer behavior in Estonia.
