Summary

In 2004 vitamins and dietary supplements drove the overall performance of the OTC healthcare market in China, increasing by more than 17% in current value terms. Only child-specific OTC healthcare products demonstrated more dynamic growth, although they account for a far smaller proportion of overall sales. The post-SARS period in China sees consumers continuing to purchase a great deal of vitamin products, as prevention is believed to be the best way of combating disease.
