Self-medication and prevention see a further boost

After consistent growth in the review period, consumer health in the Czech Republic saw another year of healthy growth in 2018, driven by the further strengthening of disposable incomes and better economic conditions, as well as growing health awareness of and interest in self-medication amongst the general population. According to the Czech Statistical Office, the average Czech consumer spends more than CZK2,000 per year on medicines.

Consumers’ confidence in private label products continues to increase

Private label products are not what they used to be long ago. Their share in the Czech market has been on the rise for number of years, and the recent activity of chemists/pharmacies and drugstores/parapharmacies suggests that the penetration of private label in OTC categories and vitamins and dietary supplements will increase even further.

Another year of growth in 2018

Overall, consumer health continued to increase in current value terms in 2018. Growth was seen in most categories, with only weight management and wellbeing seeing a decline; this was due to the growing health and wellness trend and the move to alternative products.

The changing face of traditional chemists/pharmacies

Declining revenues from prescription drugs following the abolition of regulatory fees has led chemists/pharmacies to focus more strongly on sales of OTC products, vitamins and dietary supplements and herbal/traditional products. Nowadays, pharmacies are available in shopping centres and department stores, and have increasingly become self-service retail environments.

Distributors continue to bypass some pharmacies, violating the new law

An amendment to the Medicines Law came into force on 1 December 2017, introducing new obligations not only for distributors and registered licence holders of medicines, but also for the State Institute for Drug Control (SUKL) and the Ministry of Health (MZ). The amendment made it obligatory for registered licence holders to report to SUKL the volume of medicines delivered to the Czech market (both OTC and Rx medicines).

An even stronger performance in the forecast period

Consumer health is expected to continue to see growth in value terms at constant 2018 prices in the forecast period; in fact, a stronger growth rate is expected than was seen in the review period. All categories are expected to record increasing sales, with sleep aids and NRT smoking cessation aids expected to see particularly good performances.
