About the industry

The Over-the-Counter (OTC) pharmaceutical industry refers to the segment of the healthcare sector that deals with non-prescription medicines, supplements, and other healthcare products that can be sold directly to consumers without the need for a doctor's prescription.

OTC: Global Valuation & Growth

According to a report by ResearchAndMarkets, the global OTC pharmaceutical market was valued at $124.05 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach $177.73 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 4.5% from 2021 to 2028. The report attributes this growth to several factors, including increasing healthcare awareness, rising demand for self-medication, growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases, and rising consumer disposable incomes.

Geographies in Focus

The OTC market is dominated by North America, followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific. According to the same report by ResearchAndMarkets, North America held the largest share of the global OTC pharmaceutical market in 2020, accounting for over 30% of the total revenue. This can be attributed to factors such as a high prevalence of chronic diseases, easy availability of OTC medicines, and a growing elderly population.

Where Image Recognition Meets OTC: The Journey To Excellence

The OTC industry is highly competitive, with many players ranging from large pharmaceutical companies to smaller independent brands. The industry is also highly regulated, with strict guidelines and standards for safety, efficacy, and labeling. Moreover, the OTC industry is dynamic, with constant innovation and product development. 

But with an increased share of responsibilities, comes the burden of managing and executing a successful retail execution across OTC stores in different geographies under different trade environments. 

Image recognition technology has the potential to revolutionize OTC (Over-the-Counter) sales by providing instantaneous reports on what’s happening in the storefront, analyzing months' worth of data, and new ways to interact with customers and improve their shopping experience.

Inventory Management

Image recognition can help retailers manage their inventory more effectively by tracking the movement of products on the shelves. By analyzing images of the shelves, sales & marketing leaders can identify the SKUs that are selling well and the ones that are not, and adjust their inventory accordingly.

Counterfeit Detection

Image recognition can help reduce fraud in the OTC industry by identifying counterfeit products. By analyzing the images of the products, retailers can detect subtle differences between genuine and counterfeit products and remove them from the shelves.

Shelf Management

Managing product placement on the shelves is crucial for OTC retailers. Image recognition can help retailers track inventory levels and ensure that the right products are in the right place at the right time.

Customer Insights

Understanding customer behavior is essential for OTC retailers to improve their marketing strategies. Image recognition technology can help retailers analyze customer demographics, shopping behavior, and purchase history.
