PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Respiratory virus activity and climate shifts drive long-term cough and cold remedies demand
In the coming years, the cough, cold, and allergy (hay fever) remedies category in Chile is expected to experience sustained growth, supported by both epidemiological and climatic factors likely to keep demand for symptom relief products on the rise. The continued high circulation of respiratory viruses - particularly influenza, RSV, and rhinovirus - remains a seasonal challenge, further compounded by climate change and urbanisation, which facilitate transmission in enclosed spaces.
Second-generation antihistamines to gain traction
Within the allergy remedies market in Chile, second-generation antihistamines, such as rupatadine, have gained significant traction in 2025 due to their effectiveness in relieving allergy symptoms without causing drowsiness and the convenience of once-daily dosing. These medications are particularly critical during autumn and spring, when fluctuating temperatures and environmental factors trigger the release of allergens from plants such as the Oriental Plane tree (Platanus orientalis), prevalent in urban areas like Santiago.
Natural remedies used to alleviate nasal congestion and coughs
In Chile, public health campaigns, such as those promoted by the Ministry of Health (Minsal), including the Winter Campaign 2025, have highlighted non-pharmacological measures to prevent respiratory infections. These include proper ventilation of indoor spaces, frequent handwashing, and a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
