Dermatologicals in Ethiopia is showing robust performance in 2026, with value growth of 10% to ETB1,830 million, outpacing the 9% real GDP growth and standing out within the Middle East and Africa region for its dynamism amid inflationary pressure. The environment is highly attractive, driven by a rapidly expanding population, heightened consumer awareness of skin health, and the acceleration of digital discovery, but is also shaped by pronounced price sensitivity and reliance on imports that have triggered widespread downtrading. Trusted brands remain resilient, with consumer loyalty reinforced by the credibility of pharmacies and clinics, while the convergence of medicinal and cosmetic products and the rapid rise of social media engagement are redefining purchasing habits. Success in this context demands a focus on affordable solutions, digital engagement, and building on existing trust, as well as agile pricing strategies and a strong presence in both offline and emerging online channels.
