Summary
Ageing population and rising levels of self-medication to boost forecast performance
A number of positive factors are expected to help OTC healthcare growth in Ireland. A growing number of older people in the population, an increased tendency towards self-medication, a rethink of reimbursements and longer working hours will result in rising demand for products in all OTC healthcare sectors. The entry of private label products and a larger distribution share for non specialist channels will lead to a reduction in the unit prices of some products, which could limit the pace of constant value growth overall between 2004 and 2009.
