Consumer health in 2024: The big picture
Rising health consciousness has benefited sales of consumer health categories in 2024, including vitamins, dietary supplements, digestive remedies and sports nutrition. The growing 65-year-old-and-over population was also a key growth driver in the year as older adults are more likely to suffer from a wide variety of ailments and therefore tend to be more health-conscious than many younger consumers.
2024 key trends
With the rising cost of living and reduced purchasing power, consumers increasingly opted for local brands and generics in 2024 as they typically enjoy a price advantage over imported brands. A rising number of such products are now available on the market, catering to the rising demand for cost-effective alternatives amongst price-sensitive consumers.
Competitive landscape
The competitive landscape of consumer health in Kazakhstan remained highly fragmented in 2024, with a large number of players competing for sales and shares. In March 2024, GSK switched to an export model, giving its Rx portfolio to distributors.
Retailing developments
While online sales are gaining popularity in the country, they remain quite low compared to other European markets. Nonetheless, the population is increasingly appreciative of the convenience, as well as assortments and competitive pricing, of online shopping in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
What next for consumer health?
Consumer health in Kazakhstan is set to become a more digitalised industry over the forecast period. The development of digital channels and spaces is expected to lead an increase in the number of platforms, virtual visits, and chat and other spaces for peer reviews, information and product news.
