PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Steady growth ahead for analgesics as pharmacies expands OTC access
Retail current value growth for analgesics in Mexico is expected to remain steady over the forecast period, with no major spikes anticipated. Access to analgesics is set to continue improving across the country, driven by the increasing availability of OTC options in chained pharmacies such as Farmacias Guadalajara, Farmacias Similares, and Farmacias Benavides, as well as in self-service stores and through e-commerce platforms.
Innovation centres on efficacy and convenience
The analgesics category in Mexico continues to evolve through significant technological advancements in both product development and distribution. Pharmaceutical companies are increasingly investing in innovation to offer more targeted, effective and convenient pain relief solutions.
Rising demand for natural pain relief drives shift towards complementary solutions
Interest in complementary and alternative therapies for pain management continues to rise in Mexico, alongside conventional analgesics. Practices such as acupuncture, physiotherapy, meditation and cognitive behavioural therapy are gaining traction among consumers seeking holistic health solutions that address both the physical and emotional dimensions of pain.
