Customer preferences have shifted towards a greater demand for pharmaceutical products and services, leading to increased opportunities for pharmacies in the country. Customer preferences in the Senegalese market have played a crucial role in the development of the Pharmacies industry. With an aging population and a rise in chronic diseases, there has been a growing need for access to healthcare services and medications.

As the demand for pharmaceutical products and services continues to grow, pharmacy chains have emerged as a popular choice among customers. These chains offer a wide range of products, competitive prices, and convenient locations, making them a preferred option for customers.
