Analgesics in Portugal - New Market Research Report

The review period was difficult for many people, as economic issues prevailed and lifestyles became more hectic. Stress is perceived as one of the most pressing health concerns affecting consumers today. An increasing number of Portuguese consumers are suffering from different kinds of physical pain, including headache, stomach ache or backache, mainly caused by increased exposure to stress. A recent study pointed out that 30% of Portugal’s adult population suffers from chronic pain.

Competitive Landscape

Novartis Farma - Produtos Farmaceuticos retained its leading position in analgesics in 2015, with a 15% value share. This strong position is due to the fact that Novartis Farma is the only player present in OTC adult diclofenac with its Voltaren brand. Nevertheless, the company is also present in other categories, enabling it to sustain this leading position, although its shares are smaller. In adult acetaminophen its Parsel brand accounted for a 4% value share. In adult ibuprofen Dolocyl held a 2% share, and finally its Voltaren Emulgel brand led topical analgesics/anaesthetic with an 18% value share in 2015.
