Extract from this report

  • According to our estimates, the OTC products market in the CEE region was worth some €9.2bn in 2009, which represented a slight increase of approx. 1% y-o-y in euro terms. A half of this was generated by Russia.
  • The OTC product markets in the CEE countries are dominated by large global concerns such as Novartis, GSK and Sanofi-Aventis. There are not many companies of CEE origin which are important players in the whole region analysed. 

Market commentary by expert

Although the OTC products market in Central and Eastern Europe developed by only 1% in 2009, the market growth rate should be much higher during the next three years (2010-2012) and will reach 10% annually on average (CAGR). The OTC products market in the region is not homogenous, varying from Russia and Ukraine, where sales of OTC drugs is restricted to pharmacy outlets only, to Poland and the Czech Republic, where some non-prescription medicines can be sold outside pharmacies and through the internet. There is definitely strong growth potential and development opportunities in the Central and Eastern European region, as the OTC products markets in particular countries are, in most cases, less saturated than, for example, in Western Europe.
