Over-the-counter (OTC) consumer health products refer to the wide range of medicines, supplements, and other healthcare products available for purchase without a prescription. These products allow consumers to address health issues, maintain health, or provide self-care for minor illnesses and conditions. This market contains a diverse range of products including, but not limited to, pain relievers, cough and cold remedies, digestive aids, vitamins, minerals, and skincare items. OTC health products serve a diverse consumer base with varying needs. These products are used for self-treatment and preventive health measures conveniently and cost-effectively. End-users range from individuals seeking immediate relief from common ailments to those incorporating supplements into their daily health routines to promote general wellness. The scope of application extends from personal care to medicinal use, covering minor health issues to support for chronic conditions. The expansion of the OTC consumer health products market is influenced by several factors, such as the growing popularity of over-the-counter consumer health products, increasing preference towards natural medicinal products and supplements, and a surge in disposable income and a rise in consumer spending on non-essential products. However, the OTC consumer health products market faces certain challenges, including the high cost of development of OTC products and the potential risk of misuse and adverse reactions to OTC products. On the other hand, ongoing research and development in the development of over-the-counter consumer health products and the growing use of mobile apps and telehealth services to complement OTC product offerings opens new opportunities for the OTC health products market to expand in the coming years.
