PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Ban on pseudoephedrine set to continue influencing the market
Sales of cough, cold and allergy (hay fever) remedies are expected to continue growing at a modest pace over the forecast period. This muted projection is based on the expected ongoing impact of the ban on sales of pseudoephedrine-based products through the OTC channel.
Digital and technological category advancements
French regulations on warehouse locations and pharmacist involvement are limiting the growth of domestic online pharmacies. These restrictions could, however, benefit foreign players like Redcare, NewPharma, and potentially even Amazon Pharmacy.
Health and wellness and sustainability trends likely to push sales of herbal/traditional products
Natural products are gaining popularity within cough, cold and allergy (hay fever) remedies, especially herbal remedies and essential oil-based treatments. Due to rising concerns around the use of OTC drugs, French consumers increasingly prefer multi-symptom and natural solutions, which is encouraging manufacturers to expand their ranges of herbal/traditional products.
