Analyst Opinion

In 2020, the Cold & Cough Remedies market witnessed a regression due to COVID-19-related restrictions. The regulations including lockdowns and remote working protected people from seasonal illness, leading to a reduction of the demand for cold and cough remedies. The growing awareness of hygiene during the COVID-19 pandemic further scales down the demand for cold and cough products. Nevertheless, some COVID-19-related symptoms are also quite similar to cold symptoms, which drives the market growth to some extent.

In the forecast period, the market is expected to generate higher revenues due to the growing share of the elderly population, who is more likely to get infected, and increased environmental pollution. The rising awareness of self-medication also plays an important role. The market is estimated at a CAGR of around 6% in the forecast period.
