In response to the consumer trend of using a variety of products to ensure good health, we have combined OTC healthcare, vitamins and dietary supplements, sports nutrition and slimming products into one platform - Passport: Consumer Health. Join us as we review the performance of these four categories and discuss the trends and forces shaping the world of consumer health.

Our experts will highlight:

The impact of public health issues like the H1N1 virus, obesity and tobacco bans
The expansion of retail distribution, the impact of private label and the implications of mergers and acquistions
Analysis of import bans, local production incentives, ingredient contamination and an increasingly rigrous regulatory environment reshaping the consumer health industry
A discussion on the implications of these events and potential opportunities
