PROSPECTS

Sleep aids the smallest category in consumer health as prescription medicines dominate sales

OTC sleep aids remains the smallest category in consumer health in value terms in 2018. Despite the fact that OTC sleep aids are readily available in a range of channels, they are not perceived by consumers to be as effective as prescription medicines.

Urbanisation and stressful lifestyles support growth

An increasing number of people in South Africa are moving to urban areas, where stressful lifestyles are leading to the wider prevalence of insomnia and lifestyle-related diseases. Although OTC sleep aids face competition from prescription medicines these products are nevertheless growing in popularity as a convenient option that can be purchased quickly and without the need to visit a doctor.

Herbal/traditional sleep aids benefit from perceived danger of prescription medicines

Growing concerns about the side-effects of prescription sleep aids and the potential risk of addiction and abuse are leading to some people looking for safer alternatives such as herbal/traditional products. At the same time, some consumers are reluctant to try such products as they are not considered strong enough.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Aspen Pharmacare retains its leading position in a fragmented category

Aspen Pharmacare remains the leading player in sleep aids in 2018, with it increasing its value share over the previous year. Sleep aids in general appeal mostly to those in middle- and higher-income groups given their hectic lifestyles, but also due to the fact that they are better informed about product availability and can afford such products.

Pfizer’s Sleep Eze PM benefits from dual usage

Pfizer Laboratories (Pty) Ltd’s Sleep Eze PM brand has seen the most dynamic growth within sleep aids in 2018. The product benefits from the fact it is used both to treat insomnia as well as relief from the symptoms of allergies, hay fever and common cold, such as runny nose, itchy nose, eyes and throat and sneezing.

Herbal/traditional brands subject to more price promotions

South African consumers are demanding value for money due to the country’s economic problems and so brands offering competitive prices have been able to achieve slightly higher volume sales. Herbal/traditional sleep aids continue to prevail over standard offerings due to being more price competitive, offering discounts such as 20% off or three products for the price of two.
