The conquest of drugstores slowed down: while January-August 2012 brought them 6 percent higher turnover than a year earlier, in the first eight months of 2013 their sales only expanded by 3 percent from the base period. Value sales of the 70 Nielsen-audited household chemical and cosmetics products in Hungary’s grocery retail rose by 2 percent in the examined period, but drugstores’ market share remained 28 percent. However, in terms of volume sales drugstores bettered their position – in Hungary’s grocery retail 4 percent lower sales were measured in the 70 categories, but drugstores performed 4 percent better. 83 percent of drugstores’ value sales were realised by manufacturer brands.
