Unity Pharmacy bags accolade at Retail Asia Awards 2025

Making every day a little better for the community with trusted, innovative healthcare solutions.

Unity Pharmacy has been awarded Drugstore of the Year - Singapore at the Retail Asia Awards 2025, in recognition of its efforts in redefining retail healthcare through innovation, accessibility, and customer-focussed growth. The win cements Unity’s reputation as one of Singapore’s most trusted names in healthcare retail, dedicated to keeping daily wellness essentials within reach for all in Singapore.

Unity has transformed the traditional drugstore model by delivering community-centred innovations that make healthcare more accessible, preventive, and personalised. As part of its 2024 Health and Wellness Strategy, Unity launched a suite of industry-first initiatives, including 24/7 Retail Community Pharmacy Vending Machines, in-store Active Living Zones, and pharmacist-led flu vaccinations, all designed to make every day a little better for its customers.

The Retail Community Pharmacy Vending Machines, deployed at four key locations, provide round-the-clock access to both over-the-counter and pharmacy-only medications, with real-time video consultations with licensed pharmacists. These smart solutions help solve the challenge of after-hours access, making professional healthcare a seamless experience for customers. In the future, Unity Pharmacy is working towards integrating this service with the FairPrice Group app to further enhance convenience and accessibility for customers.

Unity’s in-store Active Living Zones further support preventive health by offering customers professional-grade Tanita body composition analysers and tailored wellness insights. In 2024, Unity also opened Singapore’s first Oral Care Centre at VivoCity, offering the nation’s widest range of oral health products alongside engaging educational displays. 

Unity’s pharmacist-led influenza vaccination service, introduced under a Ministry of Health pilot at Unity Parkway Parade, has enhanced community access to credible, preventive care, eliminating the need for a GP visit for many busy individuals.

Beyond services, 2024 was also a year of expansion and impact. Unity Pharmacy grew from 80 to 93 outlets - a 16% increase - bringing essential health and beauty products to more high-traffic and underserved areas. This network expansion, along with new offerings, contributed to a 5% year-on-year revenue growth, reflecting the community’s increasing reliance on accessible, affordable, and professional health support.

Unity Pharmacy is also committed to being easy on the planet through more sustainable retail practices, contributing to FairPrice Group’s broader environmental goals.

By combining trusted service, practical innovation, and a deep understanding of local needs, Unity Pharmacy continues to lead the way in modern retail healthcare. It empowers every customer with affordable and accessible wellness solutions that are easy on the wallet, easy on the experience, and easy on the planet.
