Systemic analgesics looks set to witness greater diversification in terms of delivery formats over the forecast period. While tablets should remain the dominant type, more manufacturers are expected to make products available in gelcap, liquid suspension, soluble powder and soft chew or gummy presentations.
Products marketed as having faster-acting formulas are expected to perform well across analgesics over the forecast period. While such products tend to command higher unit prices, they should continue to gain popularity in all categories as increasingly busy lifestyles and rising health-consciousness make Costa Ricans more willing to pay extra for solutions that can provide quicker relief from pain, fever and inflammation.
Pharmacies is expected to remain the leading distribution channel for analgesics in Costa Rica in value terms over the forecast period, and by some distance. This is partly because these types of outlets carry much wider assortments than other retailers, but also reflects the fact that consumers often prefer to consult with pharmacists before buying to ensure they get the products best suited to their individual needs.

Analgesics
