Dermatologicals in Vietnam

PROSPECTS

Demand for dermatologicals driven by rising air pollution and hot weather

Air pollution is becoming a more serious problem in Vietnam, with the main cause being exhaust fumes from vehicles, according to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment. Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi are the two cities suffering the most due to more than seven million motorbikes and 600,000 cars on the road every day.

Demand for haemorrhoid treatments remains strong

In 2018, Dr Quy Nguyen, Vice Chairman of the Vietnamese Association of Gastroenterology, announced that the number of people suffering from haemorrhoids has increased sharply in recent years, with the condition now affecting nearly 55% of the population. Moreover, 60-70% of people aged over 40 are suffering from haemorrhoids, while the condition is also starting to affect young people aged over 20.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Janssen-Cilag continues to lead dermatologicals

In 2018, Janssen-Cilag continued to lead dermatologicals in Vietnam. The company’s position can be attributed to the strength of its Nizoral brand.

International companies dominate dermatologicals

International companies continued to dominate dermatologicals in 2018 thanks to their strong financial resources and expertise. While they continued to strengthen their positions by building good relationships with chemists/pharmacies and investing in marketing activities, domestic players focused on penetrating suburban and rural areas.
