DEMAND is strong for pharmacists looking to buy pharmacies, according to the most recent results of the Attain Pharmacy Market Sentiment Survey, with data also suggesting that future supply is likely to increase in the next few years.
The survey takes place every four months and included 60 pharmacists and pharmacy owners across Australia.
Almost half (47%) said they were looking to buy a pharmacy within the next 12 months, and over one-third (37.5%) said they were looking to sell within the next five years.
"The results from the Oct/Nov 2025 Pharmacy Market Sentiment Survey continue to show strong demand for pharmacists looking to buy pharmacies," said Attain Director Natalie Sirianni.
"The good news is that the data is also showing better likely future supply of pharmacies on the market with increased proportion of pharmacy owners looking to sell their pharmacy (or one of them) in the next year and next five years."
Sirianni also pointed to strong optimism around pharmacy business prices over the next 12 months, with three-quarters of the sample believing that pharmacy business prices will increase over the next 12 months - the highest level since the survey started in July 2020. KB
