Retail Clinics 2016: Growth of Clinics, Revenue Forecasts, Sales of IVD Products to Clinics, Customer Satisfaction & Other Trends

 In this research report, Kalorama Information provides data including sales forecasts and store counts for health clinics located in drugstores and other retail locations in the U.s., as well as forecasts for IVD and pharmaceutical products that are sold to them.  Major clinic providers are profiled in the report.  The report also addresses how much indirect spending the clinics generate from clinic users who shop in the retail store, and provides a detailed analysis for the opportunity for major suppliers, including


  • Vaccine Manufacturers
  • Other Pharma
  • IVD - POC
  • IVD - Clinical Chemistry and Immunoassay
  • Indirect Spending from Clinic Customers
  • Rental Income to Independent Retailers
  • Clinic Services Revenue, Current and Forecasted

 The retail clinic concept has shown potential to provide affordable, accessible and quality medical care to consumers who otherwise would have to wait hours, days, or even weeks for care. They also provide an alternative to costly, time-consuming emergency room care for sicknesses that could have been prevented if basic health care services had been available. Rising rates of utilization, for these reasons, are leading to substantial profits for providers, which is, in turn, driving further expansion.

This edition of Kalorama's report on retail clinics includes a deeper look of consumer opinion of retail clinics. Kalorama surveyed U.S. adults this year on their affinity for and exposure to retail clinics.  Information for this report was gathered from a wide variety of published sources including company reports, catalogs, materials and public filings; government documents; trade journals; newspapers and business press; analysts ™ reports and other sources. Interviews with company representatives were conducted to capture the perspectives from industry participants
