Prescribed SKUs still dominate France’s analgesics market, though the self-medication trend is progressing fairly rapidly, particularly in the case of acetaminophen. Rising use of OTC products is likely to provide a positive future for analgesics in the forecast period, particularly with the expansion of stronger formats, (such as 1000mg instead of 500mg in acetaminophen, for example).
Acetaminophen suffers from overstocking by pharmacists and stockpiling by consumers who anticipate shortages, resulting in a vicious circle. And since the pandemic, consumption of paracetamol has soared, leading to supply tensions and subsequent quota measures.
The French pharmaceutical laboratory Sanofi will separate from its consumer health entity, which includes high-volume drugs that may be sold OTC, such as Doliprane, by the fourth quarter of 2024 at the earliest or in 2025. Sanofi will then focus solely on speciality medicine and vaccines.

Analgesics
