At the same time, the M.T.K. Medical Center was the only company to experience a sharp drop in turnover: its revenue fell by almost 29% compared to the previous year.
As a result, the total turnover of the ten largest pharmaceutical distributors grew from UAH 171.5 billion in 2024 to UAH 180.3 billion in 2025, confirming the continued growth of the wholesale drug supply market in Ukraine.
According to YouControl, most of the top 10 companies have been operating in the market for over ten years and have a stable customer base among pharmacy chains and medical institutions. The oldest players are Optima-Pharm, Venta, and Kusum, which have been operating since the 1990s.
The pharmaceutical distribution market in Ukraine remains one of the most concentrated in Europe: a few large companies generate the bulk of turnover, while dozens of smaller players operate in niche segments or as partners of international pharmaceutical manufacturers.
