PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Retail growth is expected for analgesics, despite policy and structural challenges
Retail sales of analgesics in Cameroon are projected to rise over the forecast period, with sustained demand expected from paracetamol, ibuprofen, and diclofenac. These products will remain the most widely used solutions for managing various forms of pain.
Combination medications and new formats are set to shape innovation in analgesics
Across the forecast period, there will be an increasing trend towards combination formulations that provide multiple mechanisms of action. This shift will primarily be driven by the need to improve clinical efficacy while also addressing safety concerns, especially in relation to opioid dependency and the growing issue of drug resistance.
Import substitution policy could impact access and availability in analgesics
With 97% of analgesics imported and only 3% manufactured locally, the government's import-substitution policy, set to be implemented over the next 3-5 years, may have both positive and negative effects. On the positive side, this policy could encourage local investment in pharmaceuticals, including analgesics, by offering tax incentives and subsidies.
