PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Topical antifungals faces pressure from prescription growth and generics
Retail value sales of dermatologicals are expected to rise in South Korea over the forecast period. However, topical antifungals is shrinking as prescription drugs rapidly gain ground.
Consumer education becomes key strategy in dermatologicals
Product innovation has taken a back seat to consumer education in dermatologicals in South Korea. Rather than introducing new formulations, companies are focusing on helping consumers to understand how and when to use existing products correctly.
Pharmaceutical companies expand into beauty with dermatological expertise
In South Korea, pharmaceutical companies that have traditionally focused on OTC dermatologicals are increasingly turning their attention to the beauty and personal care market. This shift is being driven by the limited growth potential in the mature OTC segment and the rising consumer interest in functional skin care.
