PROSPECTS

Strong popularity of gauze, tape and other wound care due to efficacy

Gauze, tape and other wound care was a far larger category than sticking plasters/adhesive bandages in 2019, and saw much higher current value growth. This is because of the wide product variety, efficient wound care, waterproof options and less scarring, with a wide variety of brands, product types and formats from which consumers can choose.

Brands of sticking plasters/adhesive bandages appeal through licensing

As gauze, tape and other wound care continues to dominate, especially polyurethane products, brands of sticking plasters/adhesive bandages are using a licensing strategy in order to attract consumers’ interest. Product developments feature the use of popular cartoon characters on the packaging.

Wider distribution for wound care

Wound care has broader retail coverage compared with other OTC categories. Whilst OTC products such as analgesics and cough, cold and allergy (hay fever) remedies are mainly sold via chemists/pharmacies, according to legislation, sticking plasters/adhesive bandages and gauze, tape and other wound care products can be distributed through a wider range of retail formats.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Medifoam dominates due to its powerful positioning

Mundipharma Korea led wound care in value terms in 2019, with its Medifoam brand accounting for around half of overall value sales. Medi-Touch followed at a distance, and was the only other player holding a double-digit value share in 2019.

Strong competition leads to in-store promotion

The fast retail volume and value development recorded by gauze, tape and other wound care has alerted players to the growth potential in the category. The competition is therefore strong, with both international and domestic brands holding significant shares.

New launches sees different performances

The strong performance of gauze, tape and other wound care is encouraging frequent new brand and product launches. Developments such as products in different shapes, such as square, circle, rectangle and oval, and for different purposes, such as for fingers, knees and elbows, are used to attract consumers.
