Hygie31 has reached a historic milestone and established itself as the European leader in local health. In 2025, the group achieved a consolidated turnover of 5 billion euros (+52% vs 2024)now uniting a powerful European network of 2,583 points of saleA unique, virtuous and value-generating health "ecHosystem” whose ambition is clear: to become the European leader in local health by carrying out a public-service mission; "Health for everyone and everywhere". The group is transforming the pharmacy model to ensure accessible health for everyone, everywhere, moving from a curative approach to preventive medicine.
Accessibility: a long-held vision and conviction
Faced with the major challenge of "healthy longevity", Hygie31 is supporting the transformation of the traditional pharmacy. Based on the "4P" medicine (Preventive, Participatory, Personalised and Predictive), the group is deploying a unique local healthcare service. With a territorial network representing nearly 10% of the French market and a growing presence in Spain and Italy, Hygie31 facilitates access to care for millions of patients and customers in Europe.
A response to a health system under pressure
This vision of accessibility responds to a simple observation: our current healthcare system is at its limits and must face several critical challenges:
- Pharmacy deserts: 26% of French people only have access to one pharmacy. With 200 pharmacy closures per year, the risk of disruption in health care is real.
- The pharmacy’s precarious state: the income of pharmacists has fallen by 25% in 10 years. The average gross operating surplus remains stable despite inflation, impoverishing the local network.
- Drug economy: the system relies on derisory manufacturer prices, which weaken manufacturers and pharmacies and creates significant risks of medicine shortages.
- Record deficit: the French Social Security deficit, estimated at 18 billion euros.
Although the French model is considered to be one of the best in the world, the "everything for free" system is reaching its limits, exacerbated by a curative focus that widens the deficit. Conversely, countries such as Italy and Spain, with tax-based funding for the system, allow better budgetary control and have already transitioned to paid preventive medicine (e.g. melanoma screening in Italy for €30).
To support its vision for the future of healthcare, the group is supporting the transition of pharmacies towards a preventive model, through 3 stages:
- Turning pharmacies into health centres: open 6 days a week, even without an appointment, the pharmacist is already the first point of contact for French people. €1 invested in pharmacy can save €10 for the healthcare system and relieves pressure on emergency departments.
- Developing ultra-personalised treatments: supporting each patient individually to deliver more effective care.
- Exploring the healthy patient market: “Patients will no longer visit pharmacies because they are ill, but to stop being ill.”
Reinforce its model to influence markets through a structured European approach
In 2025, Hygie31 accelerated its European development and positioned itself as a shield for pharmacists’ independence The group has taken a new step in its development by adopting a network strategy in Spain, with ambitions identical to those of France. It has also consolidated its positions through five strategic growth areas, diversifying its expertise between digital and territorial networking:
- European expansion: entry into the Italian market through a major partnership with GalileoLife (700 pharmacies).
- National consolidation: integration of three regional groups (RPM, P&P and PharmAuvergne).
- E-commerce acceleration: acquisition of pascalcosteshopping.com, a major player in the selective distribution of professional hair products
Hygie31’s strength is based on a diversified business model centred around 5 key areas:

2025: A record year of growth and integration
