The consumer health market continued to grow in France in current value terms in 2019, with growth at a very similar level to the previous two years. However, many players were concerned by two main negative factors. The first of which was limited ailments in 2018 and, to a lesser extent, in early 2019. The impact of cold and flu was lower due to the 2018/2019 season beginning much later in the year than expected. In addition, there has been a decline in self-medication.
