PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Steady growth in volume and current value sales predicted for all categories
All analgesics categories are expected to expand consistently in volume and current value terms over the forecast period. While growth potential will be constrained by maturity and population decline, the strength of the self-medication trend should ensure sales remain fairly resilient on the whole.
Delivery formats set to be a key area for innovation
As the negative demographic situation in North Macedonia diminishes volume growth prospects, the forecast period should see analgesics manufacturers attempt to bolster revenues via the development of higher-end products with added-value features. In particular, more players are expected to make their brands available in delivery formats that offer greater convenience, targeted relief and faster-acting or longer-lasting efficacy.
Use of non-pharmacological interventions for chronic pain may limit growth potential
The incidence of chronic pain in North Macedonia is expected to rise in tandem with population ageing over the forecast period. While this trend will have a broadly favourable impact on the performance of analgesics, its importance as a demand driver could be limited by the willingness of many sufferers to explore non-pharmacological pain management methods such as various types of physical exercise, heat and cold therapy, acupuncture, massage, relaxation techniques, hypnosis, cognitive behavioural therapy and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TEN).
