Healthcare
Recent demographic shifts in society, particularly longevity, will be a major business driver in the healthcare sector over the coming years.
Increasingly the private sector is taking responsibility for long term care provision. The consumer healthcare market is experiencing consolidation and ownership transfer to private equity and other shareholders. Multiple retailers and on line purchasing are changing the way consumers buy OTC. Regulatory issues add to margin pressures, making scale a critical survival factor for this sector.
Wider geographical reach for branded products is essential, entailing major marketing challenges. Efficient back office structures can make the difference between profit and loss.
All of these issues - and more - have formed the basis of AshtonPenney
