The healthy growth of e-commerce
The digital revolution has a massive impact on the healthcare sector: The sector is dominated by businesses, and consumers are gaining an ever-increasing amount of control. This transition has opened up some great opportunities. E-commerce sales in healthcare grew with 38% up to 2024. Because our business and consumer networks are seamlessly integrated, we can always offer the best solutions.
