Executive Summary

Oct 2019
Impact of delicate economic balance and constrained consumer spending power evident across the market

Fragile stability in terms of the country’s currency – the Azerbaijani manat is unofficially fixed to the US dollar – and gradual economic recovery with expected 2.5% GDP growth, brought benefits to the consumer health industry in 2019.

Azerbaijani consumers value quality, herbal/traditional products perceived as less potentially harmful

Consumers increased their purchases of pharmaceuticals in 2019, as they increasingly demonstrated a preventative approach to health care. A trend towards adoption of European beauty standards was also evident in the market.

Consumers like international products’ quality, but local products’ prices

The consumer health environment in Azerbaijan is saturated. The industry is populated by both local and international brands.

Drugstores/parapharmacies remain dominant due to strict controls

More modern healthcare specialist retailers, primarily drugstores/parapharmacies, consolidated their leading positions at the expense of chemists/pharmacies in 2019. The extensive penetration of parapharmacies is supported by the Ministry of Health’s stricter controls on outlets selling medicines in Azerbaijan.

Preventative measure and general health trend set to influence market performance, underpinned by economic and demographic factors

The performance of the consumer health market in Azerbaijan is expected to reflect the growing trend among consumers towards a preventative approach to healthcare in the country. Mandatory price regulation is predicted to affect the competitive landscape by making it less viable for brands/products with premium claims to operate in the country.
