The ACCC has warned a proposed acquisition between Sigma Healthcare and Chemist Warehouse could stifle competition within the nation's pharmacy sector.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has raised concerns that a proposed merger between Sigma Healthcare and Chemist Warehouse could lead to a "major structural change" of the nation's pharmacy sector.

"This new business model for the pharmacy sector could raise barriers to rivals expanding or entering, which may lessen competition." The ACCC expressed concern the merger would also allow Chemist Warehouse to access and use commercially sensitive data about its competitors.
