The global pharmaceutical automation system market size was estimated to be USD 5.75 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach at USD 14.5 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 8.76% during the forecast period 2023-2033. The rising use of robots in pharmaceutical manufacturing, government programmes to support industrial development, increasing investments in modernizing traditional production facilities, and rising consumer demand for secure and digitalized production processes are the factors propelling the growth of this market. The increasing demand to reduce medication errors, the decentralization of pharmacies, and the expanding need for specialty drug prescription filling solutions are the main drivers of market growth.
Technological advancements made by the major market participants is expected to fuel the market growth during the projected period. For instance, Deenova announced in September 2021 that it had signed its first contract in Germany and concurrently began Deenova operations in the healthcare market with the highest GDP in Europe. This exceptional contract award covers delivery, installation, and full service/support for 72 all-in-one trolleys with secure bed-side verification, 34 all-in-one station medication dispensing robots, and three all-in-one packaging robots at Marien Hospital Gelsenkirchen, a participating organization in the service network of St. Augustinus Gelsenkirchen GmbH.
By Component, Plant instrumentation segment was the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global pharmaceutical automation system market in 2022 owing to the increasing adoption of robots, sensors, machine vision systems, & 3D printing solutions across end-use industries, growing productivity & profitability, surge in reducing the human labor required for performing activities. For instance, in August 2021, Innovation Associates has introduced SmartPod, an advanced robotic system designed for central-fill pharmacy settings. With SmartPod, healthcare providers have the flexibility to customize and expand their centralized fulfillment solution according to their specific requirements. Additionally, plant level controls is predicted to grow at fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to rising adoption of advanced technologies and increasing development of new technologies.
By Mode of Automation, Fully-automatic systems was the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global pharmaceutical automation system market in 2022 owing to the rising installation of complete automation solutions and growing technological developments. For instance, in March 2022, Capsa Healthcare has revealed an extension to its range of NexsysADC automated dispensing cabinets. The NexsysADC cabinets now come in two additional sizes for Controlled Access Module Drawers, allowing them to store controlled or high-value medications and supplies of varying dimensions. Additionally, semi-automatic systems is predicted to grow at fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to increasing demand of cutting-edge technologies and surge in need for automated solutions that support human workers in laborious tasks and boost productivity.
By End-user, Pharmaceutical industry was the highest revenue-grossing segment in the global pharmaceutical automation system market in 2022 owing to the growing adoption of continuous improvement process (CIP), surge in development of automation and cloud solutions for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry, and increasing mergers & acquisitions within market players. For instance, in November 2021, Swisslog Healthcare and Centre Hospitalier - Le Mans have formed an innovation partnership to combine their knowledge in the pharmacy domain, specifically focusing on the automated dispensing and packaging system known as TheraPick. Additionally, Biotech industry is predicted to grow at fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to the rising demand for automated systems and growing technological advancements by leading market players.
North America region is anticipated to witness the highest revenue share during the forecast period owing to the increase in the prevalence of chronic disorders, surge in number of patients across the region, rising technological advancements by leading market players, and growing mergers & acquisitions by major market players. For instance, in December 2021, ReCept Holdings, Inc., along with its specialized pharmacy management services for health systems, provider groups, and federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), has been fully acquired by Omnicell, Inc. This acquisition aims to enhance Omnicell's Advanced Services portfolio by broadening its offerings. Additionally, Asia Pacific region is predicted to grow at fastest CAGR during the forecast period owing to increasing demand for health technology solutions and surge in number of companies setting up manufacturing units in APAC countries. For instance, in April 2021, Mahidol University and the Institute of Molecular Biosciences in Thailand employed an ABB YuMi cobot and an industrial robot as integral components of the AI-Immunizer system. These robots were utilized for handling virus and antibody samples, conducting tasks such as opening vials, transporting them to testing stations, and executing repetitive actions to reduce potential hazards to human operators.
