Abstracts

Medicated skin care was affected by the prevailing economic slowdown, as consumers were more attracted to increasingly available generic brands and smaller product presentations. The intensity of the rainy season caused continued demand for particular products such as topical antifungals, while other products considered essential such as nappy (diaper) rash treatments allowed for strong sales in this category, although not at the same pace as in previous years.
