Product coverage includes NRT gum, NRT patches, NRT inhalators, others. Data coverage includes market sizes (historic and forecasts), company shares, brand shares.

Dietary supplements, along with medicated skin care and smoking cessation, represented the strongest performers within OTC healthcare in 2005, with growth in current value terms of around 6% over 2004. In each case, greater consumer awareness of issues concerning health and wellness supported sales. In dietary supplements, for example, media coverage espousing the virtues of fish oils helped develop the sector. Other sectors also did their bit to increase market sales in 2005, with the recent emergence of OTC statins, in particular Johnson & Johnson’s Zocor Heart-Pro launched in May 2004, helping to develop a new facet to the market.
