Effectiveness in reducing inflammation, sneezing, and edema is propelling OTC cough cold and allergy medicines sales
Fact.MR, New York: Award winning market research firm Fact.MR projects the OTC cough cold & allergy medicines market to grow at an impressive pace through 2021 and beyond. Growth registered by the market will be underpinned by fast-track regulatory approvals for key drugs amid growing prevalence of allergies and infectious ailments. As per Fact MR, the market is poised to register a CAGR of over 5% through 2031.
The market experienced an unprecedented surge in 2020 in response to the unbridled spread of COVID-19 infection, which prompted consumers to stock up adequately on anti-cough and cold medicines. Mandatory social distancing protocols compelled people to self-isolate. Focus on reducing the number of hospital visits or frequent visits to nearby pharmacies also encouraged them to purchase OTC cough cold and allergy medicines.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, about 8% of the US population is affected by seasonal flu, with a range between 3-11%. Also, as per Public Health England, overall estimated seroprevalence based on blood donor samples was almost 13% as of February 2021. Hence, pharmaceutical players are leveraging every opportunity to introduce new OTC drugs for immediate administration.
“Quick access to self-administered drugs for minor allergies and illnesses amid greater affordability is prompting pharmaceutical giants to introduce various OTC cough cold & allergy medicines,” says the Fact.MR analyst.
