MARKET OVERVIEW

The parapharmacy market includes all sales of care and hygiene products (for adults and babies), but also many types of products that do not require a medical prescription, such as beauty products, diet and nutrition products, sun care products, hair care products, etc.

The parapharmaceutical market has evolved considerably since its emergence in the 1980s and the consumption of parapharmaceutical products has become more democratic by opening up to all distribution methods: pharmacies, specialist retailers, parapharmacies and online sales.
