Executive Summary:
Strong Growth Due To Rising Incomes and Awareness
There was strong growth across OTC healthcare in 2006. Growth was supported by continued expansion in the Chinese economy, with rising income levels enabling consumers to buy more OTC healthcare. This drove growth in basic products such as analgesics and cough, cold and allergy (hay fever) remedies. Rising incomes also resulted in richer and less healthy diets, boosting digestive remedies, while increased pollution supported growth in allergy remedies and medicated skin care. In addition, consumers became more aware of OTC healthcare and more confident in self-medication, while health and wellness trends boosted vitamins and dietary supplements. Consumers also became more confident in discussing once-taboo ailments, with this boosting products such as vaginal antifungals and haemorrhoid treatments.
Amway Leads Despite Difficulties
Amway remained the leading player in 2006, with a share considerably higher than any of its competitors. This was despite seeing a sharp drop in share over 2005, as it attempted to reconcile its sales representatives to a new business structure in line with new direct sales legislation. Amway is only present in vitamins and dietary supplements, which dominates overall OTC healthcare. Direct sales is particularly strong in vitamins and dietary supplements, due to its representatives being able to offer individual guidance to often-confused customers and with distribution expanding rapidly across the country.
Specialist Channels Continue To Dominate
Chemists/pharmacies and drugstores/parapharmacies jointly dominated value sales of OTC healthcare in 2006. Many OTC healthcare products are indeed only permitted for sale via these channels. However, these channels both lost share during the review period as distribution widened for many products. Discounters notably gained share across OTC healthcare in the latter half of the review period, as this channel's low prices appealed to price-sensitive consumers. Direct sales also gained share rapidly, due to its growing presence in dominant vitamins and dietary supplements.
Good Growth To Continue As Distribution and Self-medication Widens
OTC healthcare is expected to see slower but still strong growth during the forecast period. Many products are seeing increasing maturity in larger cities, notably analgesics and vitamins and dietary supplements, with this expected to dampen growth. Growth will continue to be supported by distribution widening to include smaller cities and rural areas, however. In addition, growth will be boosted by consumers' growing confidence in selfmedication, with most happy to choose basic OTC healthcare themselves.
