"Dermatologicals in Ecuador" is now available at Fast Market Research

Changes in government requirements affected the category. The COMEX (External Commerce Committee in Spanish) introduced import barriers in December 2013, supposedly to improve quality controls, which affect finished products and raw materials. Another important control introduced in July 2014 was the Price Establishment for Medicine of Human Use and Consumption Regulation ("Price Regulation"), which established ceiling prices for 54% of the medicines available. The Price Regulation determines median prices for a given category or type of product and all brands above the maximum price need to adjust to the new established price. However, products below the maximum need a government decree to be able to increase their prices.

Competitive Landscape

Schering-Plough del Ecuador SA led with 18% of value sales in 2014. The firm offers a wide product portfolio, which is present in most dermatologicals categories, with its brands Mexana, Triderm and Quadriderm. The firm gained strong positioning over the years thanks to its constant promotion, advertising and national distribution networks.
