Argentine Over the Counter (OTC) Drugs Market to be dominated by Retail Pharmacy through 2028

The increasing awareness about over the counter (OTC) drugs is expected to drive the growth of the Argentina over the counter (OTC) drugs market during the forecast period.

According to TechSci Research report, Argentina Over the Counter (OTC) Drugs Market - By Region, Competition, Forecast, and Opportunities, 2018-2028, the Argentina over the counter (OTC) drugs market is anticipated to grow at an impressive rate during the forecast period. This can be ascribed to the rising demand for cost effectiveness with benefits such as accessibility, cost-effective, empowerment, time saving, and preventive care along with the growing preference for cost-effective medications among people facing medical issues across the nation. Additionally, rapid advances in science and technology, increasing healthcare costs, changes in food laws affecting label and product claims, burgeoning aging population, and rising interest in attaining wellness through OTC drugs will escalate the growth of the Argentina over the counter (OTC) drugs market in coming years. Besides, the emergence of new OTC drugs such as natural and herbal remedies, personalized medicines, and technology will further support the growth of the Argentina over the counter (OTC) drugs market during the forecast period.

However, the regulation of OTC drugs in Argentina can be complex, and the country has a strict regulatory framework for pharmaceuticals, which can make it difficult for companies to launch new products or comply with regulations, thereby slowing down the growth of the Argentina over the counter (OTC) drugs market during the forecast period. Similarly, the sales of counterfeit drugs is a significant challenge in Argentina, which can undermine the quality and efficacy of OTC drugs and create safety concerns for consumers. Such factors may hamper the growth of the Argentina over the counter (OTC) drugs market during the forecast period. Also, consumer education is another challenge faced by the Argentina over the counter (OTC) drugs market. Many consumers may not be aware of the differences between prescription drugs and OTC drugs or may not know how to use OTC products correctly. This can lead to misuse or ineffective treatment, affecting the overall market potential of OTC drugs, which can further restrict the growth of the Argentina over the counter (OTC) drugs market during the forecast period.
