Australia Over-the-Counter Pain Relievers Market Growth Factors
As Australians become more health conscious there is a market for self-medication of pain conditions such as headaches, muscle pain, back aches and period pain; these do not require medical attention. Responsible drug use through marketing campaigns and education about pain conditions, minimizing pain symptoms and the influence of OTC medications help create this market. In particular, health-conscious youth, senior populations, and fitness enthusiasts are putting more emphasis on self-care, choosing to keep painkillers on hand at home or work to quickly recover and improve their productivity. This is expected to expand the consumer base and drive adoption of OTC medications.

Increasing marketing and promotion activities are propelling the Australian OTC pain relievers market. Companies are heavily promoting their products via television, internet, and print media, presenting the product as effective and providing faster relief as compared to the competition. In the Australian influencer advertising market, ad spending is expected to be worth USD 589 Million by the year 2025. In-store discounts, celebrity endorsements, and social media ad campaigns help consumers remember the brand's product and advertise to the younger population. Attractive packaging and sales provide an impetus to demand and market growth.

The increase in retail outlets (including pharmacies, supermarkets, convenience stores and, importantly, online) that do not impose any restrictions on the sale of OTC analgesics also plays an important role in the ready availability of OTC analgesics in Australia. Organized retail means greater choice and lower prices, leading to higher purchase levels. As 17.08 Million Australians each month (up 45% YoY) turn to the web for product comparison and ordering, retailers are able to utilize more efficient inventory and distribution models to push product deeper into the market for added convenience.
