PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Demographics and rising health awareness is expected to sustain robust growth
Across the forecast period, paediatric consumer health in Cameroon is expected to experience robust growth. The country’s young population, with a significant proportion under 15 years of age, will create a consistent and growing demand for child-specific healthcare products, including paediatric consumer health solutions.
There is set to be a shift toward broader paediatric health coverage and combination therapies
Across the forecast period, there will be an ongoing shift in paediatric consumer health towards multi-functional, combination-based formulations designed to directly address common childhood ailments and nutritional deficiencies. Since 2023, several complex cough and cold remedies have been introduced, including products such as COFFRON GL (Ambroxol/Guaifenesin/Levosalbutamol), MUCO-ASTHALIN, FEBRILEX+, and PAMAGIN C SYRUP, a blend featuring Cetirizine, Dextromethorphan, and Paracetamol, which combine multiple active ingredients to provide symptomatic relief within a single product.
Micronutrient deficiencies create strategic opportunities for paediatric supplements in Cameroon
Micronutrient deficiencies among children present significant opportunities for the paediatric vitamins and minerals, particularly given the high prevalence of iron deficiency in the local population. A joint investigation conducted by the Ministry of Health and the World Health Organisation (WHO) has highlighted that undernutrition remains a pressing public health concern in Cameroon, with micronutrient deficiencies, especially iron deficiency among women and children, being a key issue.
