Time for our review of the Inc. 5000 list, the magazine’s annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States. The list—based on revenue growth from 2015 to 2018—offers a valuable snapshot of the dynamic specialty pharmacy industry. Today’s article marks our eighth annual analysis of the list.
The specialty pharmacy industry slowdown meant that fewer specialty pharmacies than ever before were eligible for the Inc. 5000 list. We have identified eight specialty pharmacies in this year’s edition. Annual revenues range from $15.5 million to $726.1 million. For the four companies returning from last year’s list, 2018 sales-weighted average revenues grew by 48%.
