With a diverse portfolio, China Jo-Jo Drugstores offers prescription and over-the-counter medicines, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), dietary supplements, medical devices, and various sundry items.
The Retail Drugstores segment is the company’s primary revenue driver, contributing the largest share to its total revenue. This segment focuses on providing high-quality products and services to retail customers. The company has also made significant strides in the Online Pharmacy segment, leveraging platforms like Alibaba's Tmall, JD.com, and Amazon.com to boost sales.
