NACDS Total Store Expo | Sunday, August 25, 2019

Welcome to Boston

t’s that time again. Retailers, distributors and suppliers are back walking the historic streets of Boston for the NACDS Total Store Expo, an event that has become a cornerstone of the industry’s annual calendar. This year, NACDS has added sessions to help firsttime attendees maximize their time at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center and take full advantage of the conference. Already, hundreds of meetings have taken place at Meet the Market, where retailers heard from new brands and familiar faces about forthcoming products that

manufacturers hope will catch the attention of an increasingly picky consumer base. Of particular importance is the breadth of retailers that come to call at NACDS Total Store Expo — from the biggest national chains and regional favorites to discounters and club stores — whose shelves might offer the exposure to launch the next big product in health, beauty, wellness and pharmacy. The event also offers manufacturers a chance to hear from retail and pharmacy experts about the biggest trends shaping the industry — including mobile commerce, drug spending, CBD, purpose-driven marketing

and points of differentiation. Monday’s Business Program will bring attendees together to hear about NACDS’ efforts to advance pharmacy and highlight the role pharmacy plays in fighting opioid abuse and addiction through patient care, as well as hear from former Secretary of State John Kerry. The remainder of the conference will be a whirlwind, with no shortage of networking opportunities and sessions offering insight about the industry’s future. Before you know it, Weezer will be taking the stage and you’ll have another successful NACDS Total Store Expo under your belt. dsn

Anderson discusses the role NACDS and pharmacy are playing in helping prevent opioid abuse and addiction.

EDITOR’S NOTE

Not All That Different Retailers don’t necessarily need to scrap their triedand-true playbook for new generations.

ave millennials and Generations X, Y and Z been fooling the rest of us all along? For probably more than a decade, industry consultants and gurus have made a lot of money by telling the rest of us that as these younger, cooler and more techsavvy consumers age, they will purchase products much differently than their parents did. That, the experts said, has the potential to completely change the way retailers go to market and, in the Seth Mendelson extreme case, cause the end of retailing as we Editor in Chief know it. But several recently released reports say that these younger consumers are, in the end, not that much different than older shoppers when it comes right down to it. In fact, there is more and more proof that as these much-discussed and much-desired consumers start to age and start their own families, they will demand pretty much the same benefits that older shoppers have been asking about for decades. Oh, what a relief. If these reports are true — and I bet there is a lot of truth here — retailers can go back to their basic strategies to win shoppers over. That means, of course, focusing on a healthy combination of product assortment, pricing and, more than ever, convenience to get these and all shoppers to walk in the door. Where the experts seem to have missed something is looking at shoppers in their teens and into their mid-20s; the consensus has been that these people will always be looking for a better and more convenient way to get the job done. But many gurus failed to understand that around age 30 or so, most of these same people have given up on finding a better routine and have returned to the tried-and-true one for the same reasons that their forefathers did: There is simply no time to do it any other way.

The dawn of the digital age and Internet shopping, in particular, have completely changed the rules of merchandising. Consumers of all ages have a lot more choices today, and younger shoppers are a lot savvier in terms of using shopping apps to their advantage. That’s right. As these shoppers age, and likely start families of their own, time becomes the most important issue in shopping. First, they do not have the time to go shopping, and second, they need what they need right away. It happened to me when my kids were born 20-something years ago, so there is no reason to believe it will not happen to these younger shoppers, as well. That’s not to say that things have not changed over the years. The dawn of the digital age and Internet shopping, in particular, have completely changed the rules of merchandising and marketing. Consumers of all ages have a lot more choices today, and younger shoppers are a lot savvier in terms of using shopping apps to their advantage — meaning they will get a better price and find a more convenient way to purchase products than we did a decade or two ago. Like the baby boomer generation of 20 or 30 years ago, these younger shoppers have more disposable income, and they seem willing to spend it on what they need and what they want. Retailers need to react, but the good news is that maybe they just need to take a page or two from their existing playbooks to win these shoppers over. dsn 6

COUNTER TALK

Drug Abuse Solutions a Focus at TSE NACDS is advancing pharmacy’s partnership, in policy and practice. By Steve Anderson

T Steve Anderson, president and CEO, NACDS

he prevention of opioid abuse and addiction is one topic of relevance to most NACDS Total Store Expo attendees. Even if an attendee’s professional role does not relate directly to health care, the likelihood exists that he or she has encountered this issue in some way as an employer, colleague, family member, or neighbor. The 2019 NACDS Total Store Expo again features timely programming that reflects this industry’s role as part of the solution to opioid abuse and addiction. Attendees will address related topics at the Compliance Roundtable for NACDS chain members, during the Sunday Business Program, in various Insight Sessions and in discussions about products and services of exhibiting companies. Our partners at the National Alliance of State Pharmacy Associations also will address aspects of this issue during their Summer Meeting, co-located at the NACDS Total Store Expo. During the conference, NACDS will announce an initiative designed to raise awareness of pharmacists’ dedication to the prevention of opioid abuse and addiction and to patient care. It also will communicate pharmacy’s continued commitment to this vital work. NACDS will be asking for the help of all attendees to extend the reach of this initiative. This new initiative complements pharmacy’s longstanding and ongoing engagement. NACDS consistently has emphasized pharmacies’ commitment to compliance programs, drug disposal, patient education, security initiatives, fostering naloxone access, stopping illegal online drug-sellers and rogue clinics, philanthropic programs and more. NACDS also is advancing a comprehensive public policy agenda that this issue demands and deserves. This agenda reflects pharmacists’ experience on the front lines of healthcare delivery. NACDS’ policy recommendations involve electronic prescribing, drug disposal, supply limits for a patient’s first prescription to treat temporary pain, prescription drug monitoring plans, health plan design and pain management. Last October, NACDS was honored to participate in the White House signing ceremony for

“

NACDS atttended the October 2018 White House signing ceremony for the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act.

the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act, which reflects several aspects of the association’s recommendations. Of particular significance, the new law includes a requirement for electronic prescribing of controlled substances under Medicare Part D. As of July, half of the states also have enacted an electronic prescribing requirement to help prevent prescription fraud and abuse. Because opioid abuse and addiction require continued focus, NACDS will continue to press for action on the association’s entire platform of related issues. Among other topics, this includes a seven-day supply limit for a patient’s first opioid prescription to treat acute, or temporary, pain. To be clear, this does not include chronic pain, nor pain associated with cancer, illness or end of life. NACDS strongly supports federal legislation that would help prevent abuse and addiction through this approach. NACDS also has worked collaboratively and successfully for the enactment of related legislation in 33 states. Today’s operating environment includes positive developments, including significant reductions in opioid prescriptions, and a growing awareness of the substantial portion of the opioid abuse and addiction epidemic that is related to illegally produced and trafficked fentanyl. Still, it remains essential to work toward additional and complementary solutions. The NACDS Total Store Expo provides another opportunity to do just that, for the benefit of all. dsn

Hallmark Unveils Multicultural Cards Hallmark is continuing to expand its multicultural card offerings. Celebrating Chinese, Indian, African-American and Latinx cultures, the company is introducing consumers to its new Eight Bamboo, Golden Thread, Uplifted and Love Ya Mucho collections. “Hallmark has always been about helping people share what’s in their hearts with those they love, and our mission includes all people. We want to continue to help people connect with each other in the ways that are most meaningful and relevant to them,” said Lindsey Roy, Hallmark Greetings chief marketing officer. “For more than 100 years, Hallmark has listened carefully to our customers to understand their relationship needs, and today is no different. As the world changes, our cards are also changing to help as many people as possible experience the power of a card in ways that are unique and relevant to their cultures.” The Eight Bamboo and Golden Thread lines were created to reflect the beauty and symbolism of the Chinese and Indian cultures by honoring each distinct heritage and blending it with inspirations of modern culture, the Kansas City, Mo.-based company said. Featured celebrations and holidays include Lunar New Year and Diwali, as well as baby’s 100th day and first birthday. Uplifted is a collection within Hallmark Mahogany, and celebrates the beauty of black womanhood and female empowerment in ways that are unique to black culture, the company said. The Love Ya Mucho collection is part of the Hallmark Vida line and features casual and contemporary designs that are mixed with positive, conversational and simply stated messages with relevance to Latinx consumers. Cards missing English and Spanish also are part of the collection. The Eight Bamboo, Golden Thread, Uplifted and Love Ya Mucho lines are available where Hallmark cards are sold.

Aurobindo’s Generic Trilipix Gets FDA Nod

Piping Rock Adds Joint Care Brand Piping Rock Health Products has unveiled its new joint care brand, T-Flex Advanced. The product includes a high-potency, full-spectrum blend of 95% standardized turmeric and antioxidants astragalus and ginger, along with black pepper extract to improve absorption. “Consumers today are more aware and educated on the health benefits of turmeric than ever before,” said Kimberly Vigliante, Piping Rock senior vice president of sales and marketing. “As they take a proactive approach to their wellness routine, we see them turning to natural solutions, like turmeric, over traditional joint care ingredients and products, for their joint care needs.” Vigliante noted that turmeric has seen consistent double-digit growth in popularity among consumers, with turmeric as an ingredient up 21% according to Nielsen data for the year ended May 18. “T-Flex Advanced fills a void in the joint care category and will bring new consumers into the section, driving incremental sales,” Vigliante said. “We are always researching ingredients and trends to bring innovative, growth driving products to market. We believe that this revolutionary formula is the future of joint health.”

Aurobindo has received the Food and Drug Administration’s blessing for its generic of AbbVie’s Trilipix (fenofibric acid) delayed-release capsules. Aurobindo’s generic will be available in dosage strengths of 45 mg and 135 mg. The drug is used to treat cholesterol in the blood by lowering the total amount of triglycerides and LDL cholesterol, and increasing the HDL cholesterol. It also is used along with diet to lower severely high triglycerides. Trilipix should only be used when other measures, such as diet and exercise, have not been enough. Fenofibric acid delayed-release capsules had a market value of roughly $42 million for the 12 months ended June 2019, according to IQVIA.

CoverGirl Expands Exhibitionist Mascara Line CoverGirl is growing the offerings in its Exhibitionist Mascara line.

The Exhibitionist Mascara Primer carries a suggested retail price of $9.99, while the two new mascara shades have suggested retail prices of between $7.99 and $10.99. 10

The Food and Drug Administration has approved Harmony Biosciences’ Wakix (pitolisant), a new treatment for adults with narcolepsy. The drug is meant to treat daytime sleepiness, and is the first and only treatment approved for patients with narcolepsy that is not scheduled as a controlled substance by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the company said. “We are extremely proud to bring Wakix to market for those living with narcolepsy, a chronic, debilitating, rare neurologic disorder,” said John Jacobs, chairman and CEO of Harmony Biosciences. “At Harmony, we share a vision to develop novel treatment options for people living with rare diseases, with a focus on those that affect the central nervous system. The approval of Wakix strengthens our commitment to making that vision a reality.” The drug works through a novel mechanism of action to increase synthesis and release of histamine, a neurotransmitter that promotes wakefulness, the company said. The once-daily drug is meant to be taken in the morning upon waking up. “The approval of Wakix provides healthcare professionals managing people living with narcolepsy a new and important treatment option for their patients,” said Jeffrey Dayno, Harmony Biosciences’ chief medical officer. “Additionally, Wakix is the only non-scheduled treatment option approved for adult patients with narcolepsy, and it offers an important benefit/risk profile to address the unmet medical need that exists in people living with narcolepsy.” Wakix will be commercially available in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Thank U, Next is named after her hit song from earlier this year that debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and received more than 55 million YouTube views in 24 hours. Created in partnership with global prestige beauty company Luxe Brands, the fragrance is meant to channel elements of the song it’s named after — moving on, looking up and taking control in a positive and self-affirming way — all with a sense of humor. “For the Thank U, Next fragrance campaign, Grande and Luxe again partnered with Hannah Lux Davis to seamlessly weave Grande’s newest fragrance creation into the ‘thank u, next’ world,” said Noreen Dodge, chief marketing officer of Luxe Brands. “Ariana’s creative vision for Thank U, Next perfectly communicates the combination of sexiness and sweetness while cleverly conveying the details of Ariana’s latest fragrance in a fresh, modern way that is both authentic to Ari and unique to the category.” Thank U, Next was crafted by Jerome Epinette, the perfumer and artisan behind Atelier Cologne and Byredo, and the fragrance layers florals and a textured musk, the company said. “Each of Ariana’s fragrances surpasses the last and Thank U, Next will be no exception. The scent, packaging and campaign are all a perfect representation of Ariana’s globally embraced message,” said Tony Bajaj, the CEO of Luxe Brands. “It is remarkable how Ariana connects with her fans and shares her incredible passion through everything she does. We are honored to again be partnering with such a groundbreaking artist and look forward to continued success with the launch of Thank U, Next fragrance.” Featuring notes of white pear, wild raspberry, crème de coconut, pink rose petals, macaroon sugar and velvet musk, Thank U Next fragrance will be available in three sizes — 3.4 fl. oz., which retails for $62; 1.7 fl. oz., which retails for $52; and 1 fl. oz., which has a suggested retail price of $42. “I wanted to make a fragrance that smells related to my first fragrance, Ari, but more summery, so I revisited Ari’s fruity pear and raspberry notes and changed it up by adding some coconut,” Grande said. “I was inspired to design a bottle that represented the message of my song ‘thank u next’ — the emergence of the perfume from the broken heart represents moving forward from a challenging chapter.” Thank U, Next has debuted on Ulta Beauty’s website, and will be available in store beginning Sept. 1.

Danone North America Falls for Seasonal Flavors Danone North America is getting a head start on fall with its latest seasonal flavor products. The company is adding products across its International Delight, Silk, So Delicious and Oikos brands that embrace the coming autumn. International Delight had added two creamer flavors — French Toast Swirl, which contains maple and cinnamon French toast flavors, and limited-edition Pumpkin Pie Spice, both of which carry a suggested retail price of $3.79. The company’s milk alternative brand has launched Silk Pumpkin Spice Almond Creamer, which combines nutty almond and pumpkin for a non-dairy creamer option. The product carries a suggested retail price of $4.29. Greek yogurt enthusiasts can reach for Oikos Greek Pumpkin Pie yogurt, which blends fall spice with Greek yogurt and contains 11 g of protein and 160 calories per 5.3-oz. serving. It has a suggested retail price of $1.19. For non-pumpkin fans, Danone’s So Delicious brand has introduced the So Delicious Dairy Free Caramel Apple Crumble Oatmilk Frozen Dessert, which combines apple, cinnamon, brown sugar and a caramel swirl. It is dairy-free, NonGMO Project Verified, gluten-free, certified vegan and carries a suggested retail price of $5.49. All of Danone North America’s seasonal products have launched at retailers nationwide.

Nannocare Grows Distribution Los Angeles-based menstrual care company Nannocare is expanding its footprint in retail. The company is set to expand its distribution to supermarkets, drug stores and college book stores in the fall. The brand’s portfolio includes the NannoPad, which is made with OCS 100% certified organic cotton — meaning it contains 95% or more organic material — as well as biodegradable plastic wrapping. The product also uses natural Nannogenic technology that uses far infrared energy, which the company said is meant to help stimulate circulation in the tiny blood vessels up to 1.5 inches under the skin around the pelvic region. By doing so, the NannoPad can help reduce menstrual discomfort and decrease the need for painkillers during periods, Nannocare said. “We could not be more thrilled to provide women with more convenient ways to access NannoPads than ever,” said Paul Van Kleef, CEO and founder of Nannocare. “By expanding our distribution to everyday retailers, we are finally able to bring a new kind of innovation in the feminine hygiene space to women’s everyday lives.” Locations that soon will be carrying Nannocare products include 50 Raley’s supermarkets in California and Nevada, 77 Big Y stores in Massachusetts and Connecticut, 120 Coborn stores in Minnesota, 150 Barnes & Noble College stores and more than 4,000 drug stores through CVS Pharmacy and Pharmabox. 18

Gaining share in a segment dominated by one big product can be an uphill battle — one that many of the companies competing for the 5.8% of the dollars that don’t go to Foundation Consumer Healthcare came up against in the year ended June 16. A majority of companies in the segment saw sales and unit sales decline, but some new entries managed to carve out some space for themselves.

TOP 10 MALE CONTRACEPTIVES It was a tough year to be making condoms. When three companies make up 99.1% of a segment's dollar sales, slight changes can roil the entire segment. Unit sales took solid hits this year, with Church & Dwight selling 3.7% fewer condoms in the year ended June 16 than the year before, and RB selling nearly 5% fewer units than in the prior period. These ripples grew into waves for smaller brands who fought for share of a smaller pie.

A fairly mild flu season meant some slowdown for companies making cough syrups. More than half of the brands in the top 10 of this segment saw both unit sales and dollar sales dip, including some unit sale drops as high as 22% for the year ended June 16. The good news is that the segment's 4% decline in unit sales only translated to a 1.6% dip in overall cash. Products that saw gains seemed to focus on natural or healthy claims.

Despite some legacy brands seeing sales decline, the $1.9 million adult incontinence segment wasn't down for the count for the year ended June 16. Indeed, though Depend's flagship product saw a 26.6% sales decline, the Depend Fit Flex brand managed an 89.2% increase in dollar sales and an 11.5% uptick in unit sales, nabbing 10% of the segment’s dollar share. Though holding a small dollar share of 1.6%, Always Discreet Boutique managed to increase unit sales by almost 92%, leading to an increase in sales of 86.3% for the period.

TOP 10 ANTACID TABLETS The $2.2 billion antacid tablet business is not quite as polarized in terms of market share as other OTC categories — even the most recognizable proton pump inhibitor brand has just 10.5% share in the space. This means that solid gains made by brands within the segment helped increase sales by 1.4% on a 2.8% increase in units sold for the year ended June 16.

When it comes to kicking the habit, with the majority of segment sales going to privatelabel companies, there really is only one big brand in anti-smoking gum â&#x20AC;&#x201D; GSK Consumer Healthcare's Nicorette. The 3.4% that Nicorette managed in the year ended June 16 was enough to keep sales roughly flat as private label and other competitors saw sales dip.

TOP 10 BLOOD-PRESSURE KIT When more than half of a segment is dominated by private-label products and another 40% by a big-name brand, competitors are left to fight for less than 6% of the dollars. That can be especially difficult when the top brand manages to increase sales 9.1% for the year ended June 16. Such gains can help buoy a segment in years where smaller players take sizable hits.

Segments often serve as microcosms of larger trends affecting categories, and chest rubs sales for the year ended June 16 highlight the competition between established brands and challengers, that bring better-for-you or natural claim to the table to steal dollar share.

Looking at the data, the cold sore medication segment has one big name, but companies that aren't Abreva have managed to carve out respectable shares of the money. Half of the top 10 brands managed to grow their sales. The other half struggled to the point that while overall sales were more or less flat (up 0.9%), unit sales declined slightly for the year ended June 16. A standout was Quantum Lip Clearline Plus with its 14% sales boost.

Even despite NyQuil and Children's Mucinex selling fewer units in the year ended June 16 than they did in the previous period, sales for the products remained almost flat and growth among their other products helped drive 3.1% segment growth.

Perennial issues often mean big dollars, and this segment is no exception. With a $4.7 billion pie, there's a lot to go around for the brands that are left to fight for the 58% of sales that don't go to private label. Zyrtec maintained the pole position among brands, and while others saw sales and unit sales drops, overall, sales were nearly flat for the year ended June 16.

The ear care segment falls into two groups — products to shut noise out and products to help consumers hear clearer. The latter of the two created growth that propelled the segment's sales for the year ended June 16. With earplug brand revenue and unit sales declining, solutions from hearing aids to ear canal cleaners saw some of the biggest growth, bringing overall sales up 8% over the prior year. Segment leader Liberty managed to corner a third of the market while growing its unit sales by 30% and its revenue by 45% over the prior-year period.

External pain relief products had a good year, with the overall segment increasing sales about 11%. Only one of the top 10 brands saw sales decline during the year ended June 16, with most others increasing sales, four by more than 10% and one —Theraworx Relief — by more than 500%, growing its dollar share of the segment to 4.1%. Though that's still less than a third of what even third bestseller Biofreeze commands, it is a solid amount of ground gained by the emerging brand.

A decline in private-label sales in the eye and lens care solution segment for the year ended June 16 corresponded with solid gains from some brands in the category. In particular, Alcon's Opti Free Pure Moist increased unit sales 7% and revenue 4.9%, cornering 5.8% of the dollar share for the segment. Alcon, Bausch & Lomb and Allergan, through their various products in the segment, dominate it, and healthy sales led to 2% sales growth.

TOP 10 FIRST AID OINTMENTS/ANTISEPTICS With unit sales for the year ended June 16 down for the entire segment, first aid ointments and antiseptics didn't see any growth for the year ended June 16. Among the top 10 brands, while some saw sales increase over the prior-year period, none broke double-digit growth, with Hibiclens coming closest with a 9.2% increase in sales. CeraVe managed to hang onto 1% dollar share, even as unit sales dropped.

No. 3 brand Hothands and No. 4 brand Hothands 2 managed to both increase sales by double digits, taking a combined roughly 17% of the segment’s dollar share. Though having only 2.8% share, Soma Care had exceptional growth, increasing unit sales by 210% and growing revenue by 75.5%.

Few categories are quite as concentrated in terms of market share as hemorrhoidal suppositories and wipes. Two SKUs — Preparation H and Preparation H Totables — comprised more than half of the dollar share, with private label and Tucks cornering another 45%. Within the remaining roughly 3% of the segment, several brands saw revenue and unit sales dip, but that's not to say the segment is absent of growth. Calmol 4, Hemorroidex and Nova all had positive growth, albeit all with dollar shares of less than 1%.

TOP 10 HEMORRHOIDAL CREAMS/OINTMENTS/SPRAYS More so in this segment than in the suppositories and wipes market, Preparation H dominates, with a whopping 65% share of dollars. The brand even managed to grow revenue in spite of a dip in unit sales for the year ended June 16. Among other brands, Recticare had a solid year, growing revenue 47% and hanging onto 7.5% of the dollar share in the segment. Private label saw unit sales and revenue dip, selling 4.1% fewer units than in the prior year period, which drove revenue down by 7.1%. Balneol also saw sales decline.

Both the segment leaders — private label and Advil — saw sales go down, as did such big players as Aleve and Bayer.

Much of the market share that doesn't go to private-label offerings in the internal analgesic liquids segment goes to formulations aimed at children, most of which saw decent gains in revenue and unit sales for the year ended June 16. Children's Advil is one exception, posting a 22% decline in revenue and a 26% drop in unit sales as Tylenol made a 67% revenue gain off of an 83% boost in unit sales, bringing its dollar share for the segment to 3.1%.

TOP 10 LAXATIVE STIMULANTS As a segment, laxative stimulants posted solid gains in revenue, even in the face of a 3.2% decline in unit sales. On a more granular level, growth also was solid, with no manufacture with a dollar share greater than 1% posting more than single-digit gains. Though still holding less than 1% of dollar share, psyllium fiber brand Konsyl managed to post a 41.4% boost in its sales.

With roughly 57% dollar share in the stomach remedies segment, Pepto Bismol is the brand to beat. Private label gave the iconic pink liquid a run for its money but captured less than half of the share that Pepto had for the year ended June 16. Solid growth from the flagship Pepto Bismol brand and the growth from Pepto Bismol UItra (with its $15.73 average price point) managed to move the needle on an often staid segment by 10% in sales growth on a 1% unit sales uptick.

The good news in lip balms and treatments is that the segment’s 5% drop in unit sales for the year ended June 16 didn’t have too much of a material impact on revenue, which was essentially flat. That’s likely due in large part to No. 2 brand Chapstick managing to more than double its revenue and unit sales even as Chapstick Classic and Eos sales flagged, buoying the segment somewhat. Also having a difficult year was private label, which has 2.3% share.

Since switching from Rx to OTC, Flonase has been a leading brand among nasal sprays, drops and inhalers, and the additional Flonase Sensimist has given GSK Consumer Healthcare a roughly 24% share of dollars in the segment for the year ended June 16. Among the rest of the segment, growth among segmentleading private-label brands, as well as solid gains from Afrin No Drip and Kaz Vicks VapoPads also contributed to 4% revenue growth.

et spending on medicines saw an uptick of 4.5% in 2018, reaching $344 billion, despite lower price growth, as a result of higher patient use of new and protected brands. That’s according to the IQVIA Institute’s “Medicine Use and Spending in the U.S.: A Review of 2018 and Outlook to 2023” report. It highlights the fact that on an invoice-price basis, spending increased by 5.7%, with off-invoice discounts and rebates, as well as other price concessions, reducing absolute invoice spending by roughly 28% to $344 billion. The report notes that spending grew in 2018 due in part to the launch of new branded products and an increase in the volume of current branded products. Net price growth was 0.3% in 2018, or 1.6% below the Consumer Price Index, while price increases for protected brands moderated to 5.5% on an invoice-price basis IQVIA’s comprehensive look at U.S. spending on medicine last year highlighted a 2.7% increase in total prescriptions dispensed, bringing the total to 5.8 billion when adjusted for prescription duration. Of the prescriptions dispensed in 2018, more than two-thirds of them were for chronic conditions, which increasingly are 90-day fills. Increased focus on patient adherence, including incentives in Medicare Part D, is resulting in greater use of 90-day prescriptions and higher adherence rates among patients with common chronic conditions, the report says. The medicine category that saw the highest increase in use was antihypertensives, which saw 48 million more fills in 2018 than in 2017, which the

institute attributed to an aging population and expanded guidelines around lowering blood pressure. IQVIA also examined the volume of prescription opioid dosages dispensed, which declined 17% in 2018 — the single largest annual drop recorded in the market — based on morphine milligram equivalents, or MMEs. In 2018, 29 billion fewer MMEs were dispensed to patients on a volume basis than in 2017. The steepest decline occurred in the “high-strength” formulations of 90 or more MMEs per day, which have declined by 61% since 2011. Among the decline drivers identified by IQVIA were changes in clinical usage, new regulatory and reimbursement policies

and legislation tightening restrictions on prescription opioid use since 2012. Those combined with tighter clinical prescribing guidelines and greater reimbursement controls resulted in 4%-per-year declines on average from 2012 through 2016, followed by a 12% drop in 2017. Looking forward, IQVIA projects an increase of 3%-6% on a net-price basis to $420 billion by 2023, an aggregate growth of $76 billion compared with an aggregate net growth of $84 billion over the past five years. The largest driver of this growth will be the launch of new brands, which are forecasted to contribute $73 billion in new spending as innovative drugs are approved and adopted. dsn
