PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Ageing population and modern lifestyles to maintain low growth rates
Even though socio-demographic developments will continue to benefit sales of analgesics, this is a saturated market in Switzerland with limited future potential for growth. The country’s ageing population will maintain steady demand, as will everyday stressful lifestyles that create tension and stress-related pains and aches.
OTC switches offer some additional growth opportunities
New launches and products added to lists D and E (available without a prescription) offer some growth potential for OTC analgesics. These deliver either new formulations, higher dosages and/or new formats.
Healthier lifestyles threaten to reduce demand in the upcoming years
Health and wellness trends are currently evolving among Swiss consumers, and these are expected to impact future sales of analgesics in multiple ways. On the one hand, consumers have growing self-reliance and knowledge about health-related topics, which will continue to drive sales of OTC analgesics.
