Next week, Drug Channels Institute (DCI) will release our 2025 Economic Report on U.S. Pharmacies and Pharmacy Benefit Managers. It’s the 16th edition of our popular and comprehensive examination of the entire U.S. drug pricing, reimbursement, and dispensing system.

For 2024, DCI estimates that total prescription dispensing revenues at retail, mail, long-term care, and specialty pharmacies reached $683 billion, up 9% from the 2023 figure.
