"The list of leading CHC marketers has changed over the past few years owing to M&A and restructuring. Now it is likely that there will be a new entrant in the top tier in the form of Kirin, which has extended its VMS portfolio in recent years with the acquisitions of Blackmores, Fancl and – most recently – Canada’s Jamieson Wellness. Kirin, which is also known for its beer business, is part of a wider trend where Japanese breweries are delving deeper into healthcare as alcohol consumption declines in the country. Another example of this is Suntory, which agreed to acquire Daiichi Sankyo Healthcare earlier in 2026."
