In 2020 overall, digestive remedies is expected to see much slower current value growth than in 2019. The category is likely to be affected by the increased economic fallout as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic with household incomes decreasing and thus spending less on OTC drugs, including digestive remedies. Moreover, lockdown resulted in most consumers staying at home and controlling the foods they consume, decreasing the consumption of processed foods resulting in fewer digestive…

The dramatic decline in foodservice consumption as a result of the nationwide lockdown had a marked negative impact on sales of digestive remedies. Digestive remedies sales usually soar during the Spring festival, known as China's most celebrated holiday in terms of family gatherings and reunion dinners. The nationwide lockdown and compulsory restaurant shutdowns, therefore, resulted in a downturn in digestive remedies during its traditional peak season, as eating at home tends to reduce the…

During periods of lockdown consumers in Hungary were more likely to eat larger quantities of food and more often. Furthermore, consumers were eating different foods, cooking at home rather than eating out or packed lunches.

Some companies have adapted their advertising to make their products more relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic, such as…

Coronavirus (COVID-19) has had less of an effect on sales in digestive remedies, compared with some other consumer health categories. Because the symptoms of the virus are not associated with digestive problems, consumers did not panic buy or stockpile these products. While increases in sales were seen in the early stages, in line with the general panic over the pandemic, the scale of purchases was much lower than in the other categories more closely associated with the symptoms of COVID-19.…

The increasing use of electronic devices across work, education and social lives is leading to the increasing incidence of eye problems, such as red eyes and dry eyes. According to Euromonitor International economic and consumer data, more than 97% of households possessed a mobile phone by the end of the review period, with around 60% owning a personal computer. Furthermore, enforced home seclusion, remote working and home schooling further increased exposure to screens during the COVID-19…

Although COVID-19 is not expected to lead to any significant stockpiling of products in eye care, nor will the pandemic bring any further attention to the category, changing lifestyles in lockdown could have some minimal impact on consumers’ buying habits. During periods of lockdown, for instance, consumers in Hungary moved to working and learning from home. For most people working or learning from home, this change meant more exposure to computers and screens, which is expected to continue…

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had some impact on eye care in Poland. The lockdown has informed a slowdown in retail volume and value growth due to reduced exposure to eye irritants. Consumers made less frequent exits outside the home, implemented higher hygiene standard and were less exposed to air conditioning as at-home working came into force, etc. The move towards an economic recession, and related decline in consumer incomes, has also reduced the willingness and ability of…

In 2020, herbal/traditional products is expected to see a lower current retail value growth rate to that seen in the previous year, with COVID-19 having an impact on sales as consumers’ disposable incomes decline. Imported premium brands are more likely to be purchased by a limited number of upper-income consumers as the middle-income population continues to shrink as a result of the economic downturn. Standard OTC remedies are generally more affordable than herbal/traditional products,…

During Hungary’s national lockdown, tobacco shops were obliged to have shorter opening hours, just like other non-food stores. Lockdown restrictions also stated that consumers under 65 years old should shop at different times of the day than those over 65 years old, and this restriction was also applied to tobacco shops. This made it more difficult for consumers to purchase tobacco products and may contribute to the expected growth in the category in 2020.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) has had a positive effect on sales of NRT smoking cessation aids. Some smokers have seen the pandemic as the ideal opportunity to quit smoking or reduce their consumption of tobacco, especially as early research and reports in the media suggest that smoking increases the risk of COVID-19 infection and worsens its effects. Some consumers forced to work remotely or stay at home do not feel the need to smoke as much as in the office or in social settings. However,…

The sleep aids category in China is mainly led by Chinese herbal/traditional products, including polygonum multiflorum, licorice, pilose antler, jujube and dried ginger, amongst others.
