ISTRIBUTION

NDUSTRY

The pharmaceutical industry in the US is one the most dynamic and important

segments of the national economy. Due to advances in medical sciences, pre-

scription drugs have become an essential element of modern health system. For

example, in 2000, over $125 billion dollars worth of prescriptions drugs were

dispensed in the US. Over the last twenty years, there was a continuous growth

followed by merger and acquisitions in the industry. Major players have also

begun to integrate vertically by acquiring businesses related to the distribution

of drugs and related health care products. Only handful wholesalers, included

FoxMeyer, were able to provide national coverage through a network of distri-

bution centers.

The pressure to reduce cost in the industry as a whole has led wholesalers

to use economy of scale. Over two decades, wholesalers have increasingly low-

ered their price and profit margin in order to compete. For example, from 1980

to 1996, wholesalers’ margins declined from 5.5% to 0.35%, while the retail-

ers’ margin increased from 5.35% to 5.5%. This reflected the increase bargain-

ing power of the retailers. The competition at the wholesaling level, where

FoxMeyer operated become very strong.
