The 2025 edition is the eighth annual World Pharmacy Council Sector Analysis report. It provides an overview of community pharmacy practice, regulation, trends, opportunities, research and statistics focused primarily on the twelve WPC member countries as at September 2025 – Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Israel, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom and United States of America. References to other OECD countries are also included.
The feature section of this 2025 edition relates to the Economic and Social Value of Community Pharmacy. By quantifying the effect community pharmacies and community pharmacy services have on overall health system costs, health outcomes and economic productivity, the community pharmacy sector can ensure it is viewed not as as a cost centre but as critical healthcare infrastructure to secure and expand. The feature section highlights evidence generated through major studies in countries such as Portugal, Finland, and the United Kingdom - each demonstrating, in monetary terms, the substantial positive effect that community pharmacies have (and can have) on health systems, budgets and the economy.
