Consumer Health in 2025: The big picture
Value sales of consumer health in Azerbaijan rose in 2025 due to the growing awareness among the population of the importance of disease prevention and health maintenance, the expansion of the range of high-quality and safe products, the active development of distribution through pharmacies and online platforms, as well as effective marketing campaigns that stimulated demand and strengthened consumer trust in brands.
Key trends in 2025
Value sales of dietary supplements recorded decline in 2025. This is related to government regulation of the category due to a large number of counterfeits, which has complicated the registration process for these products. In dietary supplements, the lion’s share belongs to Turkish products. Prices for supplements are still not regulated by the government, resulting in high markups and profit margins on these products.
Competitive landscape
Nycomed Pharma AS was the leading company within consumer health overall in value terms in 2025. The company has a strong portfolio of well-known and trusted brands, including Cardiomagnyl, Actovegin 20% and Calcium D3, among others. Its products are widely distributed through pharmacies and retailers across Azerbaijan, ensuring strong market penetration and accessibility. In addition, its effective marketing campaigns increase product awareness and drive sales.
Channel developments
Health and beauty specialists was the leading distribution channel within consumer health, accounting for most sales of consumer health products in Azerbaijan. In 2025, the channel benefited from the growing number of consumers preferring to purchase effective and high-quality health products independently, without consulting a doctor, as well as the active collaboration between manufacturers and retailers, which provides marketing support, attractive sales conditions, and wide product availability across the country.
What next for consumer health?
Value sales of consumer health in Azerbaijan are expected to register further growth over the forecast period; however, due to economic instability in the country, sales of budget medicines are expected to grow. More products will be sold in sachet format, a trend set by Nimesil. However, sales of Nimesil may decline, as there is a perception that nimesulide has serious side effects, such as liver damage, which could result in sales restrictions.
