Pharmacy Automation Devices Global Market Report 2024

The global pharmacy automation devices market has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.5 billion in 2023 to $6.11 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2%. The growth observed in the historic period was primarily influenced by several factors. These included the escalation in prescription volume, the need to minimize errors, the urgency to enhance operational efficiency, compliance demands from regulatory bodies, shortages in the pharmacy workforce, heightened patient expectations for swift service, and complexities related to inventory management.

The global pharmacy automation devices market is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.15 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is anticipated to be fueled by various factors. These encompass the global outreach of pharmacy services, the optimization of pharmacy workflows, an increasing emphasis on preventive healthcare, patient-focused medication management, a heightened focus on sustainable practices, and the proliferation of telemedicine services. Notable trends expected during this period involve the integration of robotics and automation, the utilization of centralized automated dispensing systems (CADS), the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI), the rise of telepharmacy services, the advancement of medication verification technologies, and the increased use of automated prescription filling machines.

Pharmacy automation device market growth is driven by the escalating medicine wastage, encompassing expired, unused, or contaminated medications. Automated dispensing machines facilitate efficient access to critical medications during and after pharmacy hours, curbing medicine wastage significantly. The National Library of Medicine's October 2021 report highlighted pharmaceutical supplies as the most wasteful, accounting for 37.1% of total waste. With tablet and injection forms contributing wastage rates of 20.78% and 16.49%, respectively, totaling USD 159,762.66, expiry constituted 92.05% of this waste. Consequently, the market demand intensifies as pharmacies adopt automated devices to curtail waste, boosting demand for pharmacy automation devices.

The rise in the geriatric population augments demand for pharmacy automation devices to enhance medication management, safety, and adherence among older adults. The World Health Organization's October 2022 report predicts a substantial demographic shift, with an estimated 2.1 billion individuals aged 60 or older by 2050. This population growth necessitates effective care solutions for older adults, driving the demand for pharmacy automation devices to ensure quality healthcare for this demographic.

Product innovation stands as a prominent trend in the pharmacy automation devices market. Leading companies focus on developing groundbreaking solutions to meet evolving customer needs. For instance, Innovative Associates launched smartPod and iA Therapy Management Solutions in August 2021, providing revolutionary scale and treatment management solutions. These innovations, such as the iA next-generation robot and intelligent pharmacy operations software, streamline prescription filling processes and enable easy-to-open adherence pouch packs, catering to patient needs.

Major players in the pharmacy automation devices market concentrate on developing innovative mechatronics solutions.
