Retail value sales of consumer health are expected to rise in current terms in Chile in 2025, though at a slightly slower rate than in the previous year, reflecting broader economic conditions. The Central Bank of Chile projects GDP growth of 1.5% to 2.5%, with a slowdown expected towards the end of the year due to global headwinds. The OECD forecasts 2.3% growth, driven by external demand for copper and lithium but constrained by weak productivity, while the IMF estimates 2.0% to 2.
