There are 3 pharmacy distributors in New Zealand. One is ProPharma.
The majority of the above pharmacies are franchises. New foreign groups are beginning to enter the New Zealand market. Independent pharmacies are also common in New Zealand.
Recent legislation has opened pharmacy ownership in New Zealand to individuals and companies other than pharmacists. However, in order to retain professionalism, pharmacists must still own a significant percentage of the pharmacy. New Zealand also has active Pharmacy Guild of New Zealand (Inc) and Pharmaceutical Society of New Zealand (Inc) membership organisations.
