PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Market will maintain steady growth
Cough, cold, and related remedies are projected to record positive, though gradually slowing, growth in constant value terms (at 2025 prices) in Uruguay over the forecast period. The ongoing prevalence of colds, coughs and other respiratory ailments will create opportunities for a broad range of treatments, including decongestants, medicated confectionery, and other symptomatic remedies.
Rising incidence of allergies, driven by changing rainfall patterns and temperature fluctuations
Climate change, which is affecting both the intensity and seasonality of rainfall as well as causing abrupt daily temperature variations, is expected to increase demand for cough, cold, and allergy remedies in the coming years. While Uruguayans often rely on complementary home remedies to treat colds - such as increased fluid intake, including water, juices, and traditional infusions with panela and lemon - OTC medicines remain highly relevant.
Local and international pharmacies will maintain key role
Pharmacies such as Farmashop and San Roque will continue to be the most important distribution channel for cough, cold and allergy (hayfever) remedies in Uruguay over the forecast period, underpinned by their extensive coverage across urban and rural areas. In 2023, the Argentine pharmacy chain Farmacity entered the Uruguayan market, attracted by the strong performance of the channel.
