dm-drogerie markt is a chain of retail stores headquartered in Karlsruhe, Germany, that sells cosmetics, healthcare items, household products and health food.

In its industry sector, dm-drogerie markt is Germany's largest retailer measured by revenues.[3]

The company has flat hierarchies; social commitment ranks high. For its founder Götz Werner, the wellbeing of employees is more important than the company's return.[4]

dm has stores in Germany, Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Romania, Bulgaria and Macedonia.[5]

In March 2017, for the first time in its history, dm-drogerie markt started to sell to consumers outside Europe with an Alibaba Tmall Global cross-border flagship store to China.[6]This expansion was initiated and is managed by a Shanghai-based Tmall Partner Web2Asia.
