Competition remains moderately concentrated, with GSK Consumer Healthcare leading through the strong recognition and loyalty associated with Panadol Cold & Flu. Pharmacies remains the leading distribution channel, supported by broad product choice and professional advice, while retail e-commerce gains relevance as Wellcare Pharmacy, Kulud and other retailers expand online ordering and delivery options.
