Increasing Aging Population Fuels the Asia Pacific Pharmacy Automation Systems Market
The aging population is a key to advancements in the healthcare sector. Thus, the growing aging population is anticipated to serve vital growth opportunities for the pharmacy. According to the United Nations' World Population Prospects 2022 report, the elderly population is projected to increase from 10% of the total population in 2022 to 16% of the total population by 2050. The rapidly growing aging population indicates that there will be exponential demand for care and medicines. Older people live with one or more chronic medical conditions, such as arthritis, diabetes, Alzheimer's, or Parkinson's; the treatments of these conditions require regular refilling of medicines. Also, there is growth in life expectancy worldwide, leading to the need for more digital and automated systems for adult care.The development of automatic medicine dispensers has served beneficially in developed regions. Advanced features such as an LED display, a motor controller, and an alarm system help people with medication reminders. Automated pharmacy systems would enable them to keep track of their medicine and stocks better. Further, the implementation of automated pharmacy systems has been proven to trigger medication adherence in adults. With such features, the adoption of automated pharmacy systems is expected to grow in developing countries such as Japan, India, South Korea, and China in the coming years.
