Consumer health in 2024: The big picture
With the economy improving and inflation also easing in 2024, the picture is expected to be more positive for consumer health in Poland, with moderate constant value growth expected. However, while in recent years, the influx of Ukrainians escaping the war also boosted value sales, this is no longer the case.
2024 key trends
Consumes continue to opt for multifunctional offerings, as they are seen as more economical and also more convenient. This is particularly seen in cough and cold remedies, where combination products that dress multiple symptoms are the most popular.
Competitive landscape
The Polish consumer health market is characterised by a high degree of fragmentation, given the diversity of the industry. Multinational players are well-entrenched in the Polish landscape, having entered the market early and invested substantially in promoting their renowned global brands.
Retailing developments
Over the review period, a significant number of pharmacies have closed. This is a direct result of the 2017 regulation, commonly known as "Pharmacy for pharmacists.
What next for consumer health?
Consumer health will register moderate constant value growth over the forecast period. While inflation will not be as big an issue as over the review period, consumers will still be price sensitive and price will continue to be a key driver of sales.
