Key take-aways 1/2

• For consolidated brands in their specific category there is an opportunity to broaden the portfolio by addressing different needs and segments throughout the ailment and treatment spectrums: severe, long-lasting & fast-acting vs lower dosage, slow-release & milder versions…

• For treatments that offer solutions to different groups with common needs there is an opportunity to segment based on ailments and use cases to develop differentiated and specifically marketed solutions: i.e. pain solutions for IBS sufferers, back pain sufferers, period pain, etc.

• One-stop solutions that act upon several symptoms respond to increasing demand for all-in-one products to avoid taking several treatments simultaneously, together with solutions that offer around the clock treatment, adapting to different needs throughout the day.

• There’s an opportunity for differentiation through sensorial and more appealing features and formats across categories: scents, aromas, flavors, heat, chewable, melts, gummies, gel-caps…

• Convenience is a key innovation driver that should be understood broadly: easy to use, easy to apply, easy to carry, easy to fit into routine, ready-to-use, easy to take on-the-go…

COMPETITION

• There’s an opportunity for differentiation by specifically addressing the needs of large demographic segments such as women or children, by adapting treatment to their specific needs, as well as all other product features: packaging, ingredients, flavors, galenic forms…

• Growing consumer concerns around safety and health create an opportunity for more natural and safer solutions: sugar-free, dye-free, safety-coated, natural ingredients… The disappearing boundaries between pharma treatments and food supplements is a challenge for the industry.

• There are interesting developments “beyond-the-pill” to treat ailments with gadgets, but most come from companies that are new players in the Pharma industry. A few well-known OTC players have released interesting gadget solutions that supplement their traditional portfolios.

• The growth of smartphone use and life-tracking habits among consumers give way to many opportunities through branded apps that help users better understand and treat their ailments, offering value-added content and enabling peer communities to help OTC brands become partners in their daily life.

• The challenge due to the appearance of new players from the food supplement and medical devices categories forces OTC companies to seek increasingly relevant developments and build stronger brand propositions.
