With the rise in self-medication among the US population, the demand for on-the-counter (OTC) drugs are significantly increasing. COVID-19 outbreak has considerably influenced the sales of these drugs with the increased focus on personal health. The expansion in the number of OTC medicines in the region by manufacturing companies and switching prescriptions to OTC drugs highly contributes to market growth. The demand for on-the-counter drugs has constantly been increasing with the rise of private labels, online sales, and the number of OTC product launches in the upcoming years. Recently, the sales of OTC medicines have been growing through online platforms, thereby benefitting private retailers.
During COVID-19, healthcare practitioners played a critical part in educating patients on OTC treatments and usage. During the COVID-19 pandemic, most people were treating themselves at home with the strict regulation of lockdown, thereby surging the growth of the U.S. OTC drugs market. Consumers benefit from the availability of OTCs and their physicians endorsing OTC usage. Both groups acknowledge the downside of OTC treatment. Companies are increasing their productivity to meet the high demand during the COVID-19.
Leading companies are constantly consolidating their market position through strategic and high-profile mergers and acquisitions. Governments across the US are likely to sponsor campaigns to enhance health education, increasing self-medication. The OTC drugs market in the US is highly competitive and fragmented with the presence of various players. Many leading companies have a broad portfolio of OTC products that the major vendors acquire to strengthen their market value and emerge as the top player in the industry.
