The 6th edition of the 2003 Chain Pharmacy Industry Profile is available from the National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS). The annual publication compiles the statistics and historical data that serve as the basis of performance comparison and the mark of industry performance for the chain pharmacy industry. The 60-page Industry Profile on the $639-billion chain pharmacy is published to help the industry meet the challenges of a dynamic marketplace and ever-changing consumer needs with the most current information.

    ?The Industry Profile provides a very clear picture of retail pharmacy as it serves as a valuable resource for industry experts as well as those who are unfamiliar,? said Laura Miller, NACDS senior economist.
