Overall, retail volume and value (constant 2024 prices) sales are expected to rebound in 2024-2025, in view of a new law on prescriptions, before stabilising again with decreases through the remainder of the forecast period. The Belgian population is a big consumer of analgesics and will continue to be so in the forecast period.
In 2023, the Belgian government passed a new law ordering doctors and other health professionals to mention, by 2025, on the prescription, the unit or dosage for each drug they prescribe. In that way, people will receive the exact quantity of pills they need for a specific treatment, and not the whole box as has hitherto been the case.
The forecast period performance is expected to be impacted by safety concerns over certain ingredients. For example, sodium in effervescent products is seen as harmful to normotensive individuals, whose numbers are rising in Belgium.
