Recent Developments in the Market

  • In May 2026, Bayer aims to expand its consumer health business in Brazil to twice its current size within the next five years. To support this growth, the company is evaluating the possibility of setting up a local manufacturing facility if the strong momentum achieved in recent years continues. The consumer health portfolio includes over-the-counter medications, self-care solutions, and preventive healthcare products. Key brands such as Bepantol and Gino-Canesten generate approximately 70% of the division’s total revenue in the Brazilian market.
  • In April 2026, the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (Anvisa) welcomed a delegation from Mexico to strengthen collaboration between the two countries in the healthcare sector. During the meeting, Mexico’s Federal Commission for Protection against Health Risks (COFEPRIS) officially ratified the Rio de Janeiro Declaration. The discussions also focused on sharing regulatory expertise, advancing healthcare innovation, and exploring ways to streamline product evaluation processes to improve efficiency and accelerate access to healthcare products.
