Key Market Trends

OTC Drugs is Expected to Grow at a Higher CAGR in the Forecast Period

Over the counter drugs have always given a tough time to the prescription drugs, due to their easy availability and low cost.

Many people especially in the developing and underdeveloped countries do not consult a doctor or go to hospitals for lice infestation as it is not considered a serious problem or they do not have enough healthcare expenditure so they prefer OTC drugs given by the pharmacist.

Furthermore, the increasing prevalence and growing population of children who are more prone to lice infestation are the other factors propelling the segment growth. According to a study published in 2018 by Jalil NEJATI, in the Iran Journal of Public Health, 2,995 students of 28,410 participants, that is 10.5%, were infested with head lice. There was a significant difference in the prevalence of pediculosis among the boy and girl students. The prevalence of infestation was also significantly high in students living in nomad tribes, in comparison to rural and urban areas. Therefore the above mentioned reasons boost the segment growth.

North America Dominates the Market and Expected to do Same in the Forecast Period
