Value sales of analgesics (at constant 2023 prices) are expected to record gradually slowing growth rates over the forecast period. This will be partly driven by the strong growth of the category during the pandemic, but also due to the high maturity of analgesics, which limits more dynamic growth potential.
Although UK exercise rates marginally fell in 2023, according to Euromonitor International’s Voice of the Consumer: Health and Nutrition Survey, consumer focus on health and wellbeing is expected to grow throughout the forecast period. The adoption of healthier and more active lifestyles in recent years has been reflected by players’ activity, placing greater focus on promoting ibuprofen-based topical analgesics/anaesthetic, such as Nurofen Joint & Muscular Pain Relief for treating muscle and back pain, in an attempt to regain consumer loyalty and trust.
Analgesic sales through e-commerce grew significantly during the pandemic due to lockdown restrictions. Over the past two years, e-commerce’s share of analgesics has fallen as consumers have returned to normal life but value sales remain significantly higher than 2019 levels.

Analgesics
