Executive summary

Strong market performance in 2008

Despite the financial turbulence impacting the world economy in 2008, Kazakhstan OTC market performed well and reached KZT21 billion in retail value. The population enjoyed the benefits that high-quality OTC medications bring and continued purchasing numerous remedies over the counter. Furthermore, changes in Kazakhstani legislation stiffened government control on Rx medication sales, which encouraged OTC sales. In 2008, Kazakhstan OTC healthcare market maintained the positive dynamics of the previous six years.

Himpharm becomes a top 10 pharmaceutical company in Kazakhstan

The national pharmaceutical producer Himpharm AO became one of top 10 companies in 2008. It shows that domestic companies can grow and develop in the Kazakhstan OTC healthcare. Himpharm success can be contributed to a number of different factors: such as widening the range of pharmaceutical products available at very competitive prices. It increased its sales by over 50% compared to 2007.

The government gives support to national companies

The competitive environment in Kazakhstan’s OTC healthcare is changing due to governmental policies helping local producers. Furthermore, pharmaceutical associations have also made efforts to strengthen the Kazakhstani manufacturer position. As a result, slowly but surely the local presence in the Kazakhstan OTC healthcare is increasing both in volume and value terms.

Distribution channels remain the same, though advertising boosts sales

Kazakhstan’s OTC healthcare distribution remained the same in 2008 – most of the OTC production is realised through the network of chemists/pharmacies. However it is worth mentioning that OTC manufacturers have gradually shifted away from considering advertising as an expense to treating it as an investment. As a result, proactive advertising has propelled OTC healthcare sales through established distribution channels.

Likely to slow down current growth rates over the review period

Kazakhstan OTC healthcare is forecast to go into a gradual slow down in growth throughout the forecast period taking into consideration a number of macroeconomic factors from the global economic downturn. Real GDP rate fell to 5.3% in 2008, whilst inflation remains at a disturbing 18% level. The population is likely to purchase cheaper medication due to lower disposable income which will result in slower growth rates for OTC healthcare, especially in value terms.
