PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Proliferation of digestive remedies to provide growth impetus
Value sales of digestive remedies is expected to grow at a steady pace in the forecast period, driven by higher consumer awareness about different types of illnesses, as well as the proliferation of specific products to treat their symptoms. This growth is expected to be driven by consumers aged 15-29 and 60+ years, who have a stronger inclination towards taking OTC medicine as an approach to reduce digestive issues, according to Euromonitor’s Health and Nutrition survey 2025.
