PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Widespread uncertainty expected to lead to a further sales decline
The widespread uncertainty surrounding Peru's political and economic environment has led to an adjustment in expectations for 2026, with projections pointing towards a decline in sales in value terms (at constant 2025 prices). Factors such as legislative fragmentation, the pre-election climate, and volatility in fiscal decisions have begun to influence consumption and investment behaviour.
Consumers are increasingly looking for rapid, convenient and effective results
In 2025, Peruvian consumers showed a growing preference for products that offer rapid, effective action, especially in categories linked to physical pain relief and immediate wellbeing. This expectation has intensified with the rise of active lifestyles, where a product's response time becomes a key differentiator.
Paediatric analgesics shows potential given the current limited supply
Paediatric analgesics in Peru shows clear signs of future growth potential, driven by a combination of unmet demand and limited specialised supply. Currently, the presence of products aimed at children—especially in categories such as analgesics, dietary supplements, and digestive remedies—is limited, creating opportunities for brands that can adapt their formulas, formats, and communication to the specific needs of this demographic.
