Cough/Cold, Allergy & Analgesics
ANALGESIC TRENDS Private label analgesics make up nearly 40% of the total market. (See below chart)
As Johnson & Johnson and Novartis push to get their largest analgesics brands back to pre-recall levels through a series of awareness campaigns, many consumers shift their purchasing preferences back to branded products. This helped the category to continue to thrive in 2014, achieving the second-strongest single-year growth in retail value sales of the past decade, trailing only 2013 when several brands were reintroduced to the market.*

ANALGESIC OPPORTUNITY
An aging baby boomer population and subsequent rise in geriatric population, and rising therapeutic benefits of pain treatment drugs (internal) are major factors driving growth in the global analgesics market.

ALLERGY FACTS
Allergy remedies are typically determined by the severity of the season. Recent severe allergy seasons have been positive news for the market. Sales have increased and are expected to continue to climb thanks to milder temperatures and increased pollen counts, which lead to higher incidence of allergies and therefore a greater need for allergy treatments.

PACKAGING, BRANDING & MESSAGING
Store brand and national brands (such a Nyquil) offer combination packs targeting both daytime and nighttime symptoms are doing well. The same is true for products that treat allergy symptoms, due to progressively worse allergy seasons.
Encourage consumers to replenish their supply of products each season. Remind consumers to check expiration dates. Since 43% of remedy users throw out expired products, this could be an opportunity to increase purchase cycles.

COUGH & COLD COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Store Brand vs Brand Name Private label OTC sales are giving brand names a run for their money, thanks to both name-brand recalls and a desire on the part of consumers to save money.
Across the board in OTC remedies, there has been an increase in private label sales--both as a reaction to Johnson & Johnson recalls and as a cost saving measure.
