Since the pandemic, the NHS in the UK has been under greater strain as a result of underfunding and a growing population increasingly aware of their health needs. This strain has manifested as increased waiting times for both GP and hospital appointments, encouraging consumers to turn to over the counter analgesics while they wait for a longer-term solution to their ailments.
Like many FMCG categories in the UK, the cost-of-living crisis towards the end of the review period had a significant impact on the way consumers spent their money as they were forced to make more considered decisions about their increasingly limited incomes. As a result, private label gained further share and outperformed many brands within analgesics.
Demand for paediatric analgesics remains constant, with concerned parents managing their children’s pain at home through OTC products while they have to wait for extended periods to see a doctor. As children have returned to school post-pandemic, there has been an increase in the number of instances of common childhood illnesses such as ear infections, hand, foot and mouth disease, and chickenpox as immunity was reduced after long periods of isolation.
