The pharmaceutical industry will grow as emerging nations, especially the US, move steadily away from prescription (Rx) drugs and toward over-the-counter (OTC) ones. Pharma giants are fast switching to OTC business models, allowing pharmacists to make up for income losses driven on by concerns about prescription pharmaceutical patent infringement. OTC has several benefits, including enhanced accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and simple off-the-shelf availability. However, people can get over-the-counter (OTC) medications that are thought to be secure without a prescription from a physician. Hospital pharmacies, medical supply shops, and infrequently even grocery stores carry these products, which are legitimately available without a prescription. Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs are used to treat the symptoms of the common cold, body aches, allergies, the flu, heartburn, acne, and other basic health conditions.
Due to pharmaceutical companies' preference for OTC medications over prescription medications, the global market for over-the-counter medications is predicted to grow more quickly throughout the forecast period. The term "Rx-to-OTC switch" describes the process of making effective prescription drugs available over-the-counter (OTC). OTC drugs are becoming more and more well-liked among consumers worldwide since they provide the user with significant discounts. A favorable regulatory environment is also likely to support the expansion of the global market for over-the-counter medicines during the projected year.
The gastrointestinal products segment is dominating the largest market share during the forecast period.
The global over-the-counter (OTC) drugs market is divided into many product-based sectors, including those for analgesics, cold, cough, and flu remedies, weight-loss aids, gastrointestinal products, skin care products, nutritional supplements, and sleeping aids. The gastrointestinal products section is one of them that is anticipated to have the most growth potential during the projection period. Due to a rise in gastrointestinal disorders brought on by poor dietary and lifestyle choices, OTC drugs will become increasingly common. Over the previous 20 years, deaths from intestinal cancer have grown by 17% while incidence has increased by 26%. Due to issues like heartburn, constipation, nausea, and others brought on by contemporary lifestyle choices, there is an increase in demand for gastrointestinal products like laxatives and antacids.
The retail pharmacies segment is dominating the largest market share during the forecast period.
The over-the-counter (OTC) drug market is divided into various types based on the distribution channel, including drug stores & retail pharmacies, hospital pharmacies, & online pharmacies. The retail pharmacies segment is leading the market with the highest revenue share over the projection period among all segments. There are several retail pharmacies throughout the world. The primary resource for supplying people with affordable access to drugs and healthcare is these pharmacies. Retail pharmacies give customers access to a large selection of OTC and prescription pharmaceuticals in addition to providing free consultations. As part of ongoing initiatives to enhance the accessibility and infrastructure of healthcare, many countries are investing in retail pharmacies. Collaborations between healthcare organizations will rise, speeding up industry growth.
North America led the market with the largest market share over the forecast period

North America is expected to lead substantial market expansion during the forecast period due to customers increasingly selecting OTC drugs over prescription ones.

In the United States, 93% of adults prefer to treat minor diseases with over-the-counter remedies before seeking professional treatment, while 85% of parents prefer to treat minor illnesses in their children this way before doing so.
Europe is predicted to experience strong revenue market growth throughout the forecast period due to there being many businesses that make over-the-counter (OTC) medications there and because self-medication is very common there. The public's awareness of over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceuticals is also contributing to the market boom in this sector.
