Consumer health in 2024: The big picture
Consumers in Slovenia continue to experience the impact of inflation, though it is easing in 2024. This has led to lower, yet still notable, price increases across all consumer health categories.
2024 key trends
The self-medication trend remains highly relevant in Slovenia in 2024. Consumers are better informed, highly opinionated and, in most cases, feel they can address most minor health conditions by self-medicating.
Competitive landscape
The competitive landscape and brand presence remains stable in 2024. The Slovenian medicine market remains highly regulated and dominated by several key players, including domestic companies with a long history of operating in the country.
Retailing developments
Whilst pharmacies continue to dominate the retail distribution landscape of consumer health in Slovenia in 2024, there is a clear trend of the growing importance of health and personal care stores, which are actively competing with pharmacies and increasingly with e-commerce retailers. In certain areas, such as sports nutrition, health and personal care stores lead distribution.
What next for consumer health?
Driven by the ongoing positive impact of the health and wellness trend, as well as accelerated e-commerce sales, consumer health in Slovenia maintains solid prospects for stable future growth despite demographic challenges and occasional volatility in the country’s economic performance, which is often affected by global economic downturns and geopolitical turbulences. As Slovenian consumers are generally well-educated and inherently curious, the level of consumer awareness about specific health issues and conditions will continue to increase over the forecast period.
