Higher economic activity and rising prices boost value sales

The economic upturn and robust price rises for consumer health products accelerated current value growth in 2018. During two years of the review period, 2015 and 2016, economic activity posted the lowest growth rates in a decade, but only in 2015 did the economic slowdown have a significant negative effect on consumer health in value terms, growing several percentage points below the review period average.

Analgesics remains the biggest category in 2018

Analgesics is the biggest category in consumer health in terms of value sales. It is very common for Uruguayan consumers to self-medicate instead of asking for professional advice.

Multinational companies continue to lead consumer health

Multinational companies continued to lead consumer health in Uruguay in 2018. As a relatively small country, with limited growth possibilities in the value chain, it is difficult for local companies to surpass the multinationals in terms of value sales.

Chemists/pharmacies remains the main distribution channel

The majority of consumer health products in Uruguay are bought through chemists/pharmacies. Because of government regulation, many OTC products must be handled by a specialist and cannot be bought directly from shelves by consumers.

The expected economic upturn anticipates higher sales in consumer health

The expected economic upturn will bring both higher consumption and higher prices; consequently, leading to higher value sales in most OTC categories at constant 2018 prices in the forecast period. However, paediatric consumer health is expected to see slower growth, mainly due to the much slower growth of nappy (diaper) rash treatments.
