疫情對全球藥局自動化市場產生了正面影響。疫情對採用藥局自動化以減少藥師的工作量產生了強烈需求。COVID-19 大流行導致處方數量迅速增加,從而增加了對藥房自動化的需求,以確保在有限的人員的情況下及時配藥。疫情期間,藥局自動化帶來了速度、準確性和可靠性等優勢。由於勞動力和物資短缺,大流行期間對處方藥的需求很高。疫情期間藥局自動化的成功讓業界意識到其重要性,進而推動藥局自動化技術的進一步成長。
本報告研究和分析了全球製藥自動化市場,提供市場規模和預測、市場動態以及主要參與者的現狀和前景。
Global pharmacy automation market size was valued at USD 6.51 billion in 2023, which is expected to reach USD 11.31 billion in 2031, with a CAGR of 7.15% for the forecast period between 2024 and 2031F. Since the coronavirus pandemic, the pharmaceutical industry began to see more reasons to reduce handling errors and boost service delivery. After years of development and research, pharmacy automation was the answer. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the pharmaceutical sector started prioritizing solutions to improve service delivery and reduce handling errors.
The pharmacy automation market has showcased significant growth and development in recent years attributed to the need to minimize medication errors. Manual handling of medications and their dispensing increases the chance of error, leading to barriers in patient compliance. The increasing prescription volume, growing disease prevalence, increasing automation, EHR compliance in healthcare system, need for increasing workflow and cost efficiency have fueled the demand for pharmacy automation.
Integration of pharmacy automation systems with electronic health records (EHR) and other healthcare IT systems will enable better interoperability in healthcare systems. Several market players are producing innovative solutions to automate the pharmacy workflow, further boosting the market. Moreover, recent developments in the pharmacy automation market have focused on enhancing reliability, precision, and ease of work.
For instance, in June 2022, Becton Dickinson (BD) bought Parata Systems from Frazier Healthcare Partners for USD 1.525 billion. The deal allows the medical technology giant to enter the pharmacy automation market, a space seeing strong growth as both established pharmacies and new digital-first entrants look to modernize workflow to improve efficiencies and cut costs.
Medication and dispensing errors are the result of poor communication between pharmacists and prescribers, and sometimes personal errors of pharmacists. Medication or dispensing errors include anomalies in drug substance, dose, dosage form, incorrect labelling, inappropriate packaging. Minimizing such errors can be challenging due to late realization of error. With automated pharmacy, dispensing errors can be minimized to zero, preventing any harm to patients. Based on a factsheet by the WHO in September 2023, one out of every thirty patients in healthcare are affected by medication-related harm, with more than 25% of this harm is considered as severe or dangerous to life. 50% of avoidable harm in healthcare is related to medications.
The pharmacy retail industry is demanding automation to improve the workflow and increase efficiency, owing to the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases. The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is leading to an increasing volume of prescriptions on pharmacy counters. With a limited workforce, handling it can be a major challenge. Pharmacy automation helps in handling the huge volume of prescriptions with ease, ensuring patients receive their medicines with minimal error. As per an article published in Frontiers, by 2035, 35.66% of the adult population 50 years and older will have at least one chronic condition, which is expected to increase to 47.81% by 2050. Hence, the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and prescription volume are the factors driving the pharmacy automation market.
The global pharmacy automation market has witnessed an increasing investment trend over the past few years. Many market players are developing automation tools to expedite innovation and productivity in pharmacy automation. Stakeholders are developing highly efficient pharmacy automation solutions to target the current shortcomings such as high volume of prescriptions and staff shortage. Private and public sectors are anticipating promising growth and revenue on their investments.
In October 2023, USD 9 million were invested in Plenful, a San Francisco-based firm that provides pharmacy technicians with workflow tools that automate manual and administrative tasks. The business stated that it has inked contracts with over 20 customers and concluded a USD 9 million investment round led by Bessemer Venture Partners.
The pandemic had a positive impact on the pharmacy automation market globally. The pandemic created a strong demand for the adoption of automation in pharmacy to reduce the workload on pharmacists. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a rapid increase in prescription volume that surged the demand for automation in pharmacies to ensure timely dispensing with limited staff. Pharmacy automation offered benefits such as speed, accuracy, and reliability during the pandemic. The demand for prescriptions was high during the pandemic as the workforce and supplies were running short. The success of pharmacy automation during the pandemic made industry realize its significance which led to further growth of pharmacy automation technology.
The global pharmacy automation market is highly competitive, with a few major players dominating the market. These players are Becton Dickison & Company, Capsa Solution LLC, and Omnicell Inc. These companies have a strong global presence, vast distribution network, and prioritize innovation. They are constantly investing in research and development to develop new technologies and products that meet the needs of their customers.
Synergy Medical introduced SynMed Ultra, a novel pharmacy automation system, in April 2023. This system can dispense oral drugs in blister packs at a high throughput. Filling more than 100 multi-dose blister packets in an hour, this automation system assists pharmacists in preparing medications for patients with precision.
