The Analgesics (Pharmacies) market in Vietnam has been experiencing steady growth in recent years.

Customer preferences: Vietnamese consumers have shown a growing preference for over-the-counter analgesics purchased from pharmacies. This can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, the increasing awareness and importance of self-care and self-medication among the population. Consumers are becoming more proactive in managing their health and are seeking convenient and accessible options for pain relief. Secondly, the affordability and availability of analgesics in pharmacies make them a popular choice among consumers. Pharmacies are widely distributed across the country, making it convenient for consumers to purchase these products.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the Analgesics (Pharmacies) market in Vietnam is the growing demand for natural and herbal-based analgesics. Vietnamese consumers are increasingly looking for products that are perceived to be more natural and have fewer side effects. This trend is driven by the growing awareness of the potential risks and side effects associated with long-term use of conventional analgesics. As a result, there has been a rise in the availability and variety of natural and herbal-based analgesics in pharmacies. Another trend in the market is the increasing popularity of online pharmacies. With the rise of e-commerce in Vietnam, consumers are turning to online platforms to purchase their healthcare products, including analgesics. Online pharmacies offer convenience, competitive pricing, and a wide range of products. This trend is expected to continue as more consumers embrace online shopping and as e-commerce infrastructure improves in the country.

Local special circumstances: Vietnam has a large and growing population, with a significant portion of the population being young and tech-savvy. This demographic profile contributes to the demand for analgesics, as young consumers are more likely to engage in physical activities and sports, leading to a higher incidence of pain and injuries. Additionally, the rapid urbanization and increasing disposable income in Vietnam have also contributed to the growth of the Analgesics (Pharmacies) market. Urban dwellers have higher purchasing power and are more likely to seek healthcare products from pharmacies.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: Vietnam's strong economic growth and rising middle class have contributed to the increased demand for healthcare products, including analgesics. As the economy continues to grow, more people have access to healthcare services and are willing to spend on self-care products. Furthermore, the government's focus on improving healthcare infrastructure and increasing healthcare spending has also played a role in driving the growth of the Analgesics (Pharmacies) market in Vietnam.

The global online pharmacy sector was estimated at 32 billion U.S. dollars by the end of 2023. In the United States, forecasts indicate that this figure would reach approximately 5.7 billion, solidifying its position as one of the largest online pharmacy markets. However, China dominates the pharma e-commerce industry worldwide, generating nearly 8.5 billion dollars in revenue. With China at the forefront, it is no wonder digital pharmacies make up the fastest-growing segment in the Asian digital health market.
