Sample Analysis

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Consumer health overall stagnating in Germany in 2011

In Germany in 2011, retail value sales of consumer health products saw development stagnate, with
mixed performances from various products. While there was growth seen in products such as medicated
skin care, this was offset by stagnant performance for the likes of analgesics and decline of products such
as vitamins and dietary supplements. Compared to the review period as a whole, development in 2011
was slightly below average, mainly because 2007 and 2009 had each seen small growth.

Market under pressure from healthier diets and more exercise

In line with the ongoing or even intensifying health and wellness trend in Germany, more people are
turning towards healthier diets on the one hand and/or towards more physical exercise on the other hand,
which both mean that Germans are falling ill less frequently on average and therefore purchasing fewer

OTC medications. Vitamins and dietary supplements however suffered from negative media coverage
about their effects or even their potential dangers.

Very fragmented market continues to be led by Bayer Vital

Compared to other markets, consumer health continues to be very fragmented in Germany in terms of the
competitive environment, with even the largest players commanding shares of only around 5%. The
leading players were all consumer healthcare subdivisions of multinationals, notably Bayer, Johnson &
Johnson, Novartis and GlaxoSmithKline.

Consumer healthcare most often sold in health and beauty retailers

The largest channels by far in terms of the retailing environment remain chemists/pharmacies and
parapharmacies/drugstores, which accounted for three fifths and one fifth of all consumer health value
sales, respectively, in Germany in 2011. The most successful channel however, with a constantly rising
share of sales is internet retailing. Online retailers are also expected to show substantial growth over the
forecast period.

Small decline of consumer health expected over forecast period in Germany

Over the forecast period, total retail value sales of consumer health are expected to see a small annual
decline in constant terms, due to lack of growth opportunities on the one hand and continued strong
competition from other areas, such as healthier diets, products with health benefits - such as
fortified/functional products - as well as increased exercise and therefore better health of the population
on the other hand.
