Consumer health benefits from improved economic conditions

A number of factors combined to produce favourable conditions for the category in 2017. Ireland’s economy continued to be the fastest growing in Europe and consumers had more disposable income as a result of significantly decreased consumer debt.

Strong economy, obesity and allergies fuel growth

Overall sales of pharmaceutical and cosmetic products grew by over 11% in Ireland in 2017 according to Ireland’s Central Statistics Office. Ireland has the fastest-growing economy in the EU and the uptick in consumer sales and spending contributed to overall strong value sales growth in 2017.

Favourable regulatory environment and domestic presence

Ireland has a competition-friendly regulatory environment. Vitamins and dietary supplements, the largest category in volume terms, is regulated the Food Standards Authority of Ireland (FSAI).

Mobile and e-commerce growing quickly

The category witnessed solid growth in the percentage of sales made online. Irish consumers are increasingly time strapped and digital savvy.

Forecast period performance

Over the forecast period a number of categories are expected to continue to exhibit strong performance driven by socioeconomic trends and factors unique to Ireland. The strong associations between Ireland and the life sciences sector and traditional Irish consumer loyalty to brands that have an association with Ireland will contribute to strong performance here.
