Industry Prospects

Combining various formats and combination products is likely to evolve over the forecast period to relieve cold/flu and allergy sufferers. In particular, the use of tablets as well as nasal and throat sprays was a strong combination in 2015 and is likely to continue in the forecast period. Combination oral products that relieve a number of cold/flu symptoms will continue to be developed to help fever, aches and congestion as an all-in-one tablet. Other formats such as powdered sachets to make into a hot drink are also likely to continue, as they are seen as a traditional form of relief with a natural drink base such as lemon or honey.
