Drugstore market in Germany

Measured by revenue, Rossmann was the second-largest drug store chain in Germany in 2021. Its biggest competitor was the market leader dm (dm-drogerie markt GmbH + Co. KG) who achieved a revenue of 9.04 billion that year. The company from Karlsruhe generated a higher revenue despite having a smaller store footprint in the country than Rossmann. It was also the more consistently frequented drugstore between 2018 and 2021. The Müller Handels GmbH & Co. KG, with an even smaller store footprint generated an even higher revenue per store than both its competitors. It also had the highest reach per store operated.
