In 2026, cough, cold and allergy (hay fever) remedies in Poland is set to experience a notable contraction, declining by 3% in retail value sales to PLN3,155 million, while other Eastern European markets have generally maintained moderate growth. This subdued performance is primarily linked to a combination of a particularly mild respiratory season, heightened vaccination uptake, widespread use of rapid diagnostics and ongoing behavioural shifts, such as hybrid working and an increased focus on staying at home when unwell. Although current conditions have reduced immediate attractiveness, long-term prospects remain positive, with a CAGR of 4% forecast over the next five years, bolstered by growing consumer interest in preventative health, expanding pharmacy services and the diversification of retail channels, including e-commerce. For brands to succeed, strategies should focus on portfolio innovation towards natural and preventative remedies, investment in strong brand identity and deeper engagement with both pharmacies and emerging retail partners.
