Customer preferences have shifted towards natural and organic products, driving the demand for skincare products in pharmacies. Additionally, the rising awareness about the importance of skincare and the availability of a wide range of products in pharmacies have contributed to the growth of the market.

Customer preferences: Customers in the NAFTA region have become more conscious about the ingredients used in skincare products. They are increasingly opting for natural and organic products that are free from harmful chemicals. This shift in preference is driven by the growing awareness about the potential negative effects of synthetic ingredients on the skin. As a result, pharmacies are focusing on stocking skincare products that are formulated with natural and organic ingredients to cater to this demand.

Trends in the market: One of the major trends in the Skin Treatment (Pharmacies) market in NAFTA is the increasing popularity of anti-aging skincare products. The aging population in the region has led to a higher demand for products that help reduce the signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines. Pharmacies are offering a wide range of anti-aging skincare products, including serums, creams, and masks, to meet this demand. Another trend in the market is the growing popularity of multi-functional skincare products. Customers are looking for products that offer multiple benefits, such as moisturizing, brightening, and protecting the skin from UV damage. Pharmacies are stocking products that cater to these needs, offering convenience to customers who prefer to purchase all their skincare products in one place.
