Nutrition Ambition

We have identified Nutrition supplements as a key growth driver for our CHC business. The nutrition supplement market in India is valued at over $5Bn and has been growing at healthy double-digit growth. It is currently the largest segment within the OTC market and presents a large potential for future growth given low penetration and growing consumer interest in health and wellness segments.

We are planning to build a strong presence in the nutrition supplement markets across multiple product segments and price tiers. Our aim to become amongst the top 5 players in this market by building a strong portfolio of brands, driving innovation across product segments and participating in various channels via different go to market models.

Sun Pharma's enjoys widespread coverage in key HCP specialities combined with excellent equity with doctors which has already enabled it to build a strong presence in multiple nutrition speciality segments by establishing a portfolio of differentiated offerings with the Prohance brand. As part of our growth acceleration plan for Prohance, we will strengthen its presence further in specialised RX segments. We will also adopt a hybrid business model to take Prohance DTC and establish it as a well-recognised and trusted brand with differentiated expert scientific credentials.

In addition to leveraging Prohance equity, we are developing plans to enter other segments via new brand launches as well as inorganic growth avenues.
