PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Herbal/traditional dermatologicals likely to gain ground
As is the case with many other areas of the Costa Rican consumer health market, herbal/traditional options are expected to perform well in dermatologicals over the forecast period due to increasing concerns about the side effects and contraindications of active ingredients widely used in standard alternatives. Such fears are especially relevant in this category, as the sensitive and often painful or irritating nature of skin and hair problems mean it is not unusual for sufferers to have past experiences of certain pharmaceutical-based varieties exacerbating rather than relieving symptoms.
Demand for haemorrhoid treatments set to remain buoyant
Haemorrhoid treatments looks set to remain one of the better performing categories within dermatologicals over the forecast period in retail volume and current value growth terms. It will continue to profit from the fact that haemorrhoids are becoming a chronic or recurring problem for more Costa Ricans due to trends such as population ageing, busier yet sedentary lifestyles, unhealthy eating habits and the rising incidence of obesity and digestive illnesses like IBS and ulcerative colitis.
Use of medicated shampoos expected to become more widespread
Retail volume sales of medicated shampoos are projected to grow steadily throughout the forecast period. Population ageing will continue to widen the consumer base for this category, as older adults are more prone to conditions like seborrhoeic dermatitis and dandruff.
