Consumer health in 2024: The big picture
In 2024, Uzbekistan's consumer health landscape faces various challenges, with the other-the-counter (OTC) goods set to record a decline in retail volume. Government regulations requiring mandatory marking on all OTC products, led to limited availability and instability, with the range of options falling.
2024 key trends
Analgesics and digestive products continue to be the fastest-growing areas in the OTC categories, with NSAIDs leading the growth within the analgesics landscape. Combination products dominate sales in the cough, cold, and allergy remedies landscape, with Tylolphen being the leading brand.
Competitive landscape
Governmental actions have significantly impacted the competitive landscape in 2024, creating a turbulent period for all local and imported players. Local companies are gradually increasing their presence, benefiting substantially from government support and simplified operational procedures.
Retailing developments
In 2024, pharmacy sales are set to decline in volume compared to 2023. However, the introduction of VAT has led to a slight increase in pharmacy revenues in terms of retail value.
What next for consumer health?
The landscape is stagnating and encountering numerous challenges, including high import costs, complex regulations for labelling and registration, and stringent requirements for GBP and GDP standards. These factors create significant barriers for new entrants and existing market players to maintain their operations across the forecast period.
