Signs of economic recovery in 2017

The new Macri government applied a series of measures to reduce economic distortions and bring growth onto a sustainable path. The administration also implemented a significant reduction in export taxes and import restrictions, lifted controls on the Argentine peso and adopted a managed exchange rate, while it cut subsidies to energy and transport.

Soft rebound for consumer health

Consumer health is expected to show a soft rebound, driven by the lower inflation rate, which will support consumer health consumption. Government price controls and import restrictions are less stringent, but continued to affect the inflow of products from multinationals, while local production is highly developed due to the closed economy over a period of more than a decade.

Move towards prevention supports vitamins and dietary supplements

Even though OTC medicine still represents the largest retail value share of Argentine consumer health, vitamins and dietary supplements led growth in actual value terms. This strong movement from treatment towards prevention is driven by the expansion of vitamins positioned towards general health and energy, while dietary supplements grew further, fuelled by a dynamic and competitive category driven by international and domestic manufacturers with beauty, energy, and women´s health positioning.

Sports nutrition booms

There is a growing trend towards sports nutrition in Argentina. Whilst 10 years ago bodybuilders and elite athletes were the core audience for sports nutrition, in the last two years of the review period more Argentinians, including average consumers, became interested in sports nutrition, especially sports protein products.

Improving macroeconomic scenario

The economy is projected to grow further at a rate of 3% in 2018, according to the latest outlook by the World Bank. The recently elected Argentinian president, Mauricio Macri, will focus on the need to lead the country into a period of economic liberalisation.
