New Healthcare market report from Euromonitor International: "Dermatologicals in Italy"

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 10/14/2014 --Dermatologicals is a wide category offering products from antifungals and hair loss treatments to haemorrhoid treatments. In 2013, Italian consumers continued to face a tough economic climate and reduced their spending on non-essentials wherever possible. This trend affected dermatological categories in different ways, with some withstanding the crisis and growing in current value terms. One of the most important trends observed in 2013 was the emergence of more specific products in dermatologicals, such as antifungal products for treating fungal nail infections. According to industry sources, more and more Italians are visiting gyms and swimming pools and suffering from this type of problem.

Competitive Landscape

Bayer remained the leading player in dermatologicals in 2013 with a 12% value share, manly thanks to its Canesten and Bepanthen brands. Ranked second was Sanofi-Aventis with an 8% share thanks to its Foille brand. The second biggest brand in the category in 2013 was Fissan from Sara Lee/DE Italy, accounting for a 5% value share.

Industry Prospects

The most important trend expected to affect dermatologicals in Italy is the increasing consumer interest in specialist products. This trend is set to have an impact mainly on topical antifungals, which saw the launch of treatments for fungal nail infections. On the other hand, consumers are likely to look for more discounted dermatological products over the forecast period. Hence, they are expected to increasingly visit parapharmacies and the pharmacy corners in supermarkets and hypermarkets.
