Consumer health in 2024: The big picture
Consumer health sales in Lithuania are resettling in 2024 following fluctuations during and following the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, sales are generally fairly stagnant with declines in some segments – largely due to a stabilised consumer base following a temporary boost by migration from Ukraine and other countries.
2024 key trends
OTC categories are more or less standing in place or even in slight decline, losing some of the momentum gained during the pandemic. Still, the pandemic experience created some new consumer habits which are allowing sales of some categories to remain at higher levels than they were in 2019.
Competitive landscape
There are no major changes in the consumer health competitive landscape in 2024. Brands and companies are mainly competing through growing or shrinking marketing budgets, as they operate within a market that does not show much brand loyalty.
Retailing developments
The pharmacies channel remains key in 2024, with players increasingly utilising omnichannel approaches and seeing success through both store-based outlets and e-commerce platforms. Within this context, the core players Eurovaistine, Benu, Gintarine vaistine, and Camelia rule the domain and leave little room for competitors to maintain a strongly competitive presence.
What next for consumer health?
The forecast period is unlikely to see strong or particularly impressive growth within Lithuania’s consumer health industry. Unless the country’s population starts to expand again, consumer bases will continue to slightly decline, thus reducing a natural impetus for growth.
