What do drugstores do?
Drugstores stock over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, skincare, baby products and household items, and many have a pharmacist who fills prescriptions. They range from independent shops to national chains, and in some markets drugstores and pharmacies are separate trades with different licences.
Our data comes from the business registers of 47 countries. SIC has no code of its own for drugstores: they sit in SIC code 5912 (drug stores and proprietary stores), so within that we select them on the CompanyData industry label for drugstores. In NACE, the European code those registers use, 23,777 of them (100%) sit in classes 47.73 (dispensing chemist in specialised stores) and 47.75 (retail sale of cosmetic and toilet articles in specialised stores), part of division 47 (retail trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles).
