Customer preferences: Customers in Senegal are increasingly becoming aware of the importance of skincare and are actively seeking skin treatment products from pharmacies.

Customers are also showing a preference for natural and organic skincare products, as they perceive them to be safer and more beneficial for their skin.

Trends in the market: The skincare market in Senegal is witnessing several trends that are contributing to its growth. Firstly, there is a rising demand for anti-aging products, as the population is aging and individuals are seeking ways to maintain youthful-looking skin. Secondly, there is an increasing popularity of multi-functional skincare products that offer multiple benefits in one product, such as moisturizing, sun protection, and anti-aging properties.

Lastly, there is a growing interest in skincare products specifically formulated for men, as men are becoming more conscious of their appearance and are incorporating skincare into their daily grooming routines.

Local special circumstances: Senegal has a predominantly sunny climate, which exposes individuals to high levels of UV radiation. This has led to a greater awareness of the importance of sun protection and a higher demand for skincare products with SPF (Sun Protection Factor). Additionally, Senegal has a diverse population with different skin types and concerns, which has created a need for a wide range of skincare products that cater to these specific needs.

Underlying macroeconomic factors: Senegal's economy has been steadily growing, resulting in an increase in disposable income among its population. This has allowed individuals to allocate a larger portion of their budget towards personal care products, including skincare. Furthermore, the government's efforts to improve healthcare and promote wellness have also contributed to the growth of the skincare market, as individuals are becoming more health-conscious and proactive in taking care of their skin. In conclusion, the Skin Treatment (Pharmacies) market in Senegal is developing due to customer preferences for skincare products, emerging trends in the market, local special circumstances, and underlying macroeconomic factors.

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.
