"The performance of the store retail CHC market in China (0.1%) and Japan (-0.5%) dragged down the overall growth rate for APAC to 1.2% in 2025; without including these countries – the region’s Top 2 markets by sales value – the upturn was a more respectable 3.6%. The good news is that moves are being made to address the challenges in these two countries – in China, struggling pharmacies are being repositioned as “health stations” to give consumers more incentives to visit stores and in Japan new regulations are designed to simultaneously boost self-care and reduce government health expenditure."
