According to figures from the Institute of Public Health, the use and distribution of illegal medication is on the rise, and includes antibiotics and prescription drugs, such as Clonazepam, where illegal trade is considered drug trafficking. Data also show a growing variety of medications being offered in the illegal market, with a significant increase in those requiring a prescription for purchase from authorised establishments.
In 2023, the majority of Chilean consumers continue to rely on pharmacies as their primary source for purchasing sleep aid, with the leading distribution channel capturing over 70% value share. Notably, established pharmacy chains such as Cruz Verde, Farmacias Ahumada, Farmacias Knop, and SalcoBrand have recognised the evolving market dynamics and have embraced an omnichannel approach to their sales strategies.
Consumer behaviour is increasingly reflecting a shift towards holistic approaches to sleep health. Consumers are actively seeking out products that offer non-pharmacological solutions to their sleep-related issues.
