PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Consumers to seek analgesics that target specific pain points
The overall outlook for analgesics is extremely positive over the forecast period, with particular demand for adult options, including acetaminophen, aspirin, combination products and ibuprofen set to further rise. In South Africa, consumers from lower-income segments tend to use one type of analgesic to treat many different ailments or types of pain.
Albeit from low base, sales of online analgesics set to grow
The ongoing growth of analgesics will likely help expand distribution of these products in South Africa, including via e-commerce. Online platforms such as Checkers Sixty enable consumers to purchase certain medications without being dispensed over the counter.
Analgesics can benefit from wider distribution in South Africa
The growth of e-commerce and increase in a variety of distribution channels beyond pharmacies, such as supermarkets, hypermarkets, forecourt retailers, and small local grocers, will continue to broaden the availability of analgesics, making them easily accessible to consumers across the country.
