The outlook for cough, cold and allergy (hay fever) remedies over the forecast period is favourable, with most categories projected to expand consistently in volume terms. Overall demand should remain buoyant in the short term as life in Ireland continues to return to normal in the wake of the pandemic and people are more exposed to pathogens and environmental pollutants that cause common or seasonal respiratory illnesses and allergies.
According to the Irish Pharmacy Union, approximately one in five people in Ireland now suffer from hay fever, and the incidence of this condition among the population is on the rise. Moreover, the country’s dense vegetation, increased levels of air pollution and the long-term trend towards milder winters and warmer summers resulting from climate change are prolonging the pollen season and causing sufferers to experience more severe symptoms, particularly in urban areas.
The value share of e-commerce in cough, cold and allergy (hay fever) remedies increased substantially in 2020 as concerns about exposure to COVID-19 in physical retail outlets led more people in Ireland to start buying these products online. The same trend ensured the channel’s share remained stable in 2021, though it has since fallen as vaccination against the virus and reduced levels of community transmission have encouraged consumers to return to brick-and-mortar stores.
