A current report from the Hamburg Consumer Center shows that online pharmacies sometimes have significant price differences for over-the-counter cold products. The research found that the prices for 20 common cold products in 15 online pharmacies differed by an average of 33 percent. Particularly clear deviations were found with fever juice and painkillers. The consumer advice center also emphasizes that price search engines do not necessarily provide a complete market overview.
The study by the Hamburg Consumer Center confirms that prices for over-the-counter medications in online pharmacies can vary significantly. This can have a significant impact on the market and consumers. On the one hand, consumers have the opportunity to save significantly when ordering cold products by using price search engines. Some products were up to 66 percent cheaper when purchased via comparison portals. This may result in consumers increasingly using price search engines and shopping online instead of going to traditional pharmacies.
On the other hand, price variation in online pharmacies can lead to increased uncertainty among consumers. The fact that the price of the same product can vary depending on how it is accessed can be confusing for consumers and make it more difficult to actually find the best deal. This can lead to consumers spending more time looking for cheap offers, which results in more time wasted.
Overall, the study by the Hamburg Consumer Center shows that pricing in online pharmacies can have a significant impact on consumers' purchasing behavior. The results of the sample and the consumer advocate's criticism underline the importance of price search engines and transparent price information in online pharmacies. Consumers must be able to trust that they are actually getting the best deal, regardless of how they access the products.
