Continuing growth for consumer health

Consumer health in Germany continued to experience growth in 2017. Several trends affected the market in different ways.

Healthy lifestyles and the ageing population have a tremendous impact

Generally, it is noticeable that consumers in Germany face growing stresses due to increasingly busy work environments and hectic lifestyles. As a result of these trends, many Germans do not eat healthily and do not live active enough lifestyles.

High competition puts the focus on innovation and positioning

The consumer health market in Germany remains highly fragmented, as the competition has increased due to new trends and changing consumer preferences. Consequently, it is characterised by a high level of innovation and a significant number of players entering the market.

Chemists/pharmacies remains the leading distribution channel in consumer health

In 2017, chemists/pharmacies remained the leading distribution channel in consumer health in Germany. This can be explained by the restricted access to various OTC products, and the highly valued professional advice that consumers receive at pharmacies relating to different health issues.

Forecast performance expected to be more moderate

Consumer health in Germany is expected to record lower growth rates over the forecast period compared with the review period. Most importantly, this is due to growing health awareness within the population, which will become even more relevant in the years ahead.
