“It’s a focus category for us in the near future and we are working hard to get the project started in 2019. We want to carry the entire range of health and nutrition products, including over-the-counter drugs, as an online pharmacy,” eMAG CEO Iulian Stanciu told ZF.
In all, 5.7 million products are listed on the eMAG marketplace, 52% of which sold by other retailers using the platform. OTCs are a 3.5 billion lei (EUR741 million) market and this year a law came into force that allows pharmacies and other retailers to get the necessary licenses to sell non-prescription drugs online.(EUR1=RON4.7204)
