The Irish economy continued to boom in 2018, with demand being fuelled by strong consumer confidence and high disposable incomes. This has boosted consumers’ ability to spend on non-essential consumer health care products such as sports nutrition.

For several years over the review period, Ireland experienced mild winters and generally wet summers. However, 2018 brought several extreme weather patterns.

While Ireland is a small market for global players, the country has a strong representation of pharmaceutical operators, with nine of the 10 largest pharmaceutical companies in the world having a base in the country. With Brexit on the horizon, there is strong potential for Ireland to further advance its position as a European base for pharmaceutical companies, with PCI Pharma Services and Chinese firm WuXi Biologics announcing their decision to set-up operations in Ireland in 2018.

Investment in the internet retail channel for the distribution of consumer healthcare products continues to increase. Broadband penetration levels and improvements in delivery services have helped to increase the popularity of online shopping.

Modest growth is expected within consumer health over the forecast period. Investment in consumer health is set to continue with Ireland’s aging population and obesity crisis being two of the key trends driving growth over the forecast period.
