Consumer health in 2024: The big picture
It is expected to be a positive picture for consumer health in Pakistan in 2024, with healthy constant value and volume growth, partly supported by population growth. This positive picture is in spite of continuing soaring inflation, though growth has eased significantly from the previous year.
2024 key trends
There is a notable shift towards natural and holistic health solutions in Pakistan, with increasing consumer preference for offerings with a more natural positioning. This trend reflects a broader movement towards wellness and preventive health, driven by growing awareness of natural ingredients' benefits and a desire for safer options, with less chemicals.
Competitive landscape
Except for some prominent local brands in herbal/traditional and weight management product areas, the competitive landscape is dominated by international players in terms of retail value share. A greater capacity to invest in marketing campaigns, brand-building activities and distribution networks, support the strength of international players and their brands.
Retailing developments
Health and personal care stores and pharmacies continue to account for most value sales and play the dual role of being distribution channels, as well as advisers about consumer health products. As the trend of self-medication continues to grow, they are playing an even more important role in pushing consumers towards certain brands or products.
What next for consumer health?
The outlook is positive over the forecast period.
