Rising disposable income drives sales of OTC medicines

Cameroon’s consumer health industry continued to record strong positive growth over the review period. Though the country’s economic landscape continued to be impacted by a lack of proper infrastructure and low productivity, Cameroon’s ability to diversify its economy positively contributed to the GDP growth.

Consumers adopt preventive health and wellness measures

OTC medicines recorded positive growth as consumers are adopting preventive health and wellness measures. In addition, the wide availability of ICT devices coupled with the ease of access to information are other factors impacting OTC positively as consumers can now access healthcare information to self-diagnose.

OTC remains very fragmented with multiple international players dominating

Given the fact that medicines are imported from all over the world with no restrictions applying to the type of medicine, OTC is very fragmented. In addition, it is dominated by international players due to their longstanding presence and established wide distribution networks.

Independent chemists/pharmacies remain the leading distribution channel

Independent chemists/pharmacies remain the major channel for the distribution of OTC products in Cameroon, although a variety of intermediaries and non-prescribers are now part of the influence network. The lack of proper healthcare services pushes consumers to increasingly be self-aware and health-conscious, thus they are adopting preventive health and wellness measures in order to prevent trips to the doctor.

Consumer health is expected to record positive growth over the forecast period

The lack of proper healthcare services is expected to drive the trend of self-medication. While generic medicines might have a favourable price positioning, the illicit trade of such products and the inefficiency of some of the brands currently available in the country encourage consumers to trade up to branded drugs.
