PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Continued growth amid holistic health trends though topical analgesics may struggle
Analgesics is forecast to maintain positive value growth over the coming years. However, as health and wellness continues to gain traction, some consumers are likely to explore alternative pain management options such as home remedies, massage, sauna or light therapy.
Product diversification to drive interest
As a mature category, analgesics is expected to see further product diversification. Faster-acting formulations, targeted solutions for children, and formats appealing to athletes and active consumers will help sustain growth.
Pharmacies to remain central but faces rising online competition
Pharmacies is set to retain its position as the leading distribution channel for analgesics. However, it will face increasing competition from e-commerce, which is expected to continue expanding as Swedish consumers embrace online pharmacies for both convenience and lower prices.
