Consumer health posted solid current value growth in Italy in 2018, driven by the increasing health-culture focusing on long-term health and prevention, a trend that particularly benefited vitamins and dietary supplements and herbal/traditional products. The increasing attention on wellness also boosted sales of sports nutrition, which benefited from an expanding consumer and the development of internet retailing.

Consumer health in 2018 recorded current value growth in line with the value CAGR of the review period. The rising level of stress as well as the increasingly ageing population are shaping consumer health’s demand dynamics in Italy.

Domestic company Aziende Chimiche Riunite Angelini Francesco ACRAF remained the overall leader in 2018, due to its well-established brand portfolio including Tachipirina and Moment brands within analgesics, the Body Spring line within dietary supplements and Tantum Verde in pharyngeal preparations, having sold its wound care Amuchina/Farmamed line to Gabbiano SpA in 2016. Angelini was followed by international companies, first of all GSK Consumer Healthcare, which dominated topical analgesics due to Voltaren Emulgel and Voltadol, nasal spray with Rinazina Spray Nasale and fibre dietary supplements with Benefibra.

In Italy, chemists/pharmacies continued to be the main distribution channel for consumer health, with consumers placing strong trust in the advice offered by pharmacists. Chemists/pharmacies remains the only channel allowed to sell prescription medicines in Italy and the dominant channel for the majority of OTC, vitamins and dietary supplements, and weight management and wellbeing.

Consumer health in Italy is expected to continue to benefit from Italian consumers’ increasing focus on long-term health, being keen to invest in wellbeing and prevention. This trend is set to continue boosting herbal/traditional products and vitamins and dietary supplements, although the growth rates are set to settle to some extent due to the high level of penetration.
