The Big Three Wholesalers: Revenues and Channel Share Up, Profits Down

Next week, Drug Channels Institute will release our 2019–20 Economic Report on Pharmaceutical Wholesalers and Specialty Distributors. It’s the 10th edition of our comprehensive and highly-regarded examination of U.S. prescription drug distribution channels. It will be released on October 8, but is available now for preorder at discounted pricing.

The exhibits below—2 of the 136 in our new report—provide a look at the revenues and market share of the Big Three wholesalers: AmerisourceBergen Corporation, Cardinal Health, Inc., and McKesson Corporation.

As you will see below, the Big Three wholesalers’ revenues continue to grow faster than those of the overall pharmaceutical industry. This growth has increased the wholesale share of the U.S. drug distribution channel and enabled the big to get even bigger. In the report, we document that gross profits have not kept pace with revenues.
