PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Growth supported by an ageing population and rising self-medication
Value sales of analgesics in Kenya are expected to rise further over the forecast period overall. Growth is set to be driven by the rising self-medication trend, the increasing prevalence of chronic pain conditions, an ageing population, and growing awareness and accessibility of pain management therapies.
Expected innovation through better understanding of mechanisms of action
Innovation in analgesics could stem from a better understanding of their mechanisms of action. This involves identifying molecular pathways, particularly for drugs already proven effective in clinical practice.
Opportunities for natural and herbal remedies
Over the forecast years, there are growing opportunities for natural and herbal remedies as consumers increasingly seek alternative forms of pain relief. Traditional medicine is expected to gain further recognition and formalisation in Kenya, supported by the establishment of good manufacturing practices (GMPs) to ensure product quality.
