The Mail-Order Pharmacies Market Overview, 250 pages, also identifies nearly 50 of the major market participants and provides information on each company which includes (when available): company background, company strategy, financial and statistical information, products and services, and recent activities.
Mail-order prescriptions accounted for nearly $44 billion of total U.S. prescription sales in 2005. Sales for the mail segment increased 7.6% in 2005, compared with an increase of 16.5% in 2004. Mail-order prescriptions accounted for 244 million of the 3.38 billion total prescriptions in 2005. Mail-order is a growing area because of the cost savings and convenience associated with it. Employers are turning to both incentive and mandatory programs. Employers typically save 10-20 percent off retail drug costs. These cost savings are achieved because the primary operators of mail-order pharmacies - pharmacy benefit management companies - can purchase drugs in bulk and pass on their savings to employers. An increasing number of employers are requiring their employees to use mail order services to fill their prescriptions.
