In 2013, homeshopping saw a drop in growth from 7% in 2012 to 5% in 2013. The reason for this is that there are wider opportunities to shop in shopping centres in the United Arab Emirates. Also, with many new shopping centres opening, the cultural lifestyle in the United Arab Emirates is more profound through store-based channels. The wide expatriate population has increased this trend and limited growth for homeshopping in the country, unlike in Saudi Arabia. There is a growing socially...

Parkinson's disease is a progressive condition that is characterized by bradykinesia, muscular rigidity, tremor, and postural instability. As the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, Parkinson's disease may affect individuals of any age but prevalence is increased with age and it is most common in the elderly. Dopaminergic therapies have been fairly effective in treating bradykinesia, but several unmet needs remain. Some needs will be met during the forecast period from 2012-2022, while others, such as the need for disease-modifying drugs, will remain. GlobalData expects that advancements will be made in levodopa administration and that four new molecular entities will be introduced to the market by 2022, these factors along with increased patient numbers from an aging population will drive the market during the forecast period.

We have made a modest downward revision to our forecast for total Bulgarian household spending to 2018. Having forecast growth of 23.9% last quarter, we now expect total spending growth of 22.6% to BGN59bn. A relatively immature retail sector will continue to provide investors with opportunities to secure 'catch-up' growth, while February retail sales data also provides cause for optimism, and as such, risks to our retail forecasts are weighted to the upside. Nonetheless, a modest economic growth forecast for 2014, still-high unemployment levels and a very weak demographic picture continue to dominate our forecasts and ensure that Bulgaria remains at the foot of our regional Risk/Reward Ratings for the regional sector.

The double down-trading triggered by the economic slowdown visibly affected analgesics, the second largest category in consumer health (very close to the largest, cough, cold and allergy (hay fever) remedies). Consumers down traded to formal generics, which were the only share winners (one percentage point up) and to informal products (not tracked by EMI). That translated into a decline in the constant value growth rate from 4% in 2012 to 3% in 2013. The slowdown due to the increase in informal...

The HZZO is moving many drugs from full reimbursement status to partial reimbursement status, as it continues to cut expenditure and shift costs onto patients. Heavy price cuts and margin restrictions within the pharmaceutical supply chain threaten to cause drug shortages and weaken the supply chain within Croatia. We forecast weak pharmaceutical market growth over the next decade, in light of Croatia's acceding to EU pressure to rein in its budget deficit in December 2013. Liquidity issues and payment terms will remain unfavourable in 2014, but we believe that EU influence should see this ease over the medium term.

The migraine market is saturated with generic drugs, and the remaining branded products already on the market are expected to lose exclusivity during the next few years, with the exception of Botox for chronic migraine, which is expected to maintain its leading position in terms of sales. However, reformulations of mature products as well as new classes of therapies are anticipated to launch during the forecast period and these will contribute to the market growth. By 2023, the migraine market will grow to $3.7 billion at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6%, with the US continuing to dominate the market as a result of higher drug prices and a large migraine population. Some of the new treatments are expected to target the key unmet needs but opportunities will remain for further treatment choices especially drugs that will offer an improved safety and side-effects profile.

We have made a modest upward revision to our forecast for Polish household expenditure over our five-year forecast period to 2018. In local currency terms, we expect household spending to increase by 30.5%, up from our forecast of 29.9% last quarter. This comes on the back of our upward revision to Polish economic growth in 2014. We had previously been forecasting real GDP growth of 2.6% in 2014. However, on the back of an ongoing export recovery, which has filtered through into marked improvements to the country's labour market, we are now forecasting Polish economic growth of 2.9%. Our robust, if unspectacular, growth forecast out to 2018, will ensure that Poland continues to attract retail investment and remains a competitive and dynamic market.
