Analgesics is set to see a decline in retail value sales in current terms in Italy in 2024. The category’s performance was adversely affected by a peculiar flu season. Despite the record 14.5 million infections reported by RespiVirNet, the flu season showed an unusual pattern. In fact, the high number of infections was contrasted by a rather narrow time frame, with the peak concentrated at the end of December 2023. This led to a drop in analgesics sales as early as the second week of January.
