PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Lifestyle and demographic trends will continue to drive demand
Digestive remedies looks set to develop positively throughout the forecast period, with steady growth in retail volume and current value sales projected for all categories. Overall demand should remain buoyant as the fast pace of modern life continues to make it difficult for Costa Ricans to maintain healthy eating habits, increasing their susceptibility to gastrointestinal problems like diarrhoea, constipation, bloating and heartburn.
Competitive landscape expected to remain relatively concentrated
The competitive landscape in digestive remedies in Costa Rica was quite concentrated as of 2024, with a relatively small number of companies accounting for a large share of total value sales. This is not expected to change over the forecast period, as leading brands like Alka-Seltzer (Bayer), Andrews (GlaxoSmithKline) and Pepto-Bismol (Procter & Gamble) enjoy high levels of consumer loyalty thanks to their longstanding reputations for efficacy, affordable price positioning, extensive distribution coverage and strong advertising support.
No major changes anticipated in terms of distribution
Pharmacies is expected to remain by far the most important distribution channel for digestive remedies in value sales terms over the forecast period. Most Costa Ricans will continue to favour these outlets, as they carry much wider assortments than other retailers and pharmacists can provide expert advice on which products are most effective in treating different symptoms, side effects, contraindications etc.
