The development of the new OTC market failed miserably! 5 points of retrospective thinking

The announcement of the complete closure of Shenzhen Zhonglian Pharmacy also announced that this once top 100 chain in the country could not withstand the economic downturn and collapsed. It also brought back the author’s memories of developing a new OTC market in Shenzhen many years ago. Shenzhen, the forefront of China’s reform and opening up, the first special economic zone, is not only the “holy land” in the hearts of countless businessmen, but also the place where miracles are born. In August 2001, I was sent to Shenzhen by the company to develop the market due to my outstanding performance at the age of 25. At that time, the company where the author worked was mainly engaged in women’s products (sanitary napkins, panty liners), and its business scope was mainly in the southwest region.

What’s Next?

Over the past decade, the cross-border medical intermediary industry has experienced a boom, followed by a sharp decline during the pandemic. It has only been after the pandemic that the industry began to recover, but very few companies have managed to endure to this point.
