Summary
Amazon Pharmacy aims to transform the retail pharmacy landscape by applying its e-commerce principles to enhance convenience and access. Since its 2020 launch, the pharmacy has introduced features like automatic medication discounts and a pilot drone delivery service targeting 60-minute prescription deliveries. With plans to expand its services to 20 new cities in 2025, Amazon seeks to improve same-day medication access, especially during high-demand seasons. Unlike traditional pharmacies, Amazon's digital-first model minimizes wait times and leverages its logistics capabilities for rapid delivery. To further enhance customer experience, the company is integrating clinical teams with engineering experts to streamline the checkout process and improve pricing transparency, positioning itself competitively in the pharmaceutical market.
