PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Sustained growth driven by beauty, wellness, and active lifestyles
The dermatologicals category in Ecuador is projected to maintain steady and sustained growth over the forecast period, supported by evolving consumer habits and shifting wellness priorities. While some areas such as nappy rash treatments are expected to decline, largely due to falling birth rates and lower demand for baby care products, this downturn is softened by strong momentum in other categories.
Breaking barriers: how awareness and innovation are fuelling growth in vaginal antifungals
Vaginal antifungals is also poised for growth over the forecast years, supported in large part by the impactful marketing strategies of two key brands: Gynocanesten (by Bayer) and Lomecan?V (by Genomma Lab). Both brands have launched campaigns that emphasise education, empowerment, and destigmatisation, helping normalise conversations around vaginal fungal infections such as candidiasis.
Self-treatment culture and easy Rx access
Prescription (Rx) dermatologicals are widely accessible in Ecuador, with many consumers obtaining treatments without formal prescriptions. Although these products are technically classified as Rx, enforcement is often lax, and pharmacist recommendations frequently substitute for medical consultations.
