Value growth in wound care supported by premiumisation
the favourable sales growth performance seen in wound care in 2019 can be attributed largely to the shift among consumers towards more sophisticated products that carry higher price tags. This is part of the wider premiumisation trend that has continued to drive value growth in wound care since before the start of the review period.
Dynamic growth in first aid kits linked to rising car ownership and outdoor sports
First aid kits was again the most dynamic category in wound care in 2018 and this can be linked directly to the strong growth being seen in second-hand car sales in the country. It is compulsory in Bulgaria for all cars to carry a first aid kit and as car ownership continues to increase, sales of first-aid kits to motorists continue to underpin sales growth in the category.
Strong growth set to continue despite maturity of demand
Wound care is slated for positive growth throughout the forecast period despite the maturity of demand in all of the largest wound care categories. Greater exposure to the threat of injury due to the more active lifestyles of urban consumers is likely to spur demand, with rising vehicle ownership also likely to motivate consumers to purchase first aid kits for their cars.
