Market Definition

Pharmacy automation plays a significant role in modern healthcare as it allows medicine to be conveniently delivered and distributed in the hospital pharmacy or retail pharmacy. Automation of the pharmacy helps to reduce the error in the medication. It prevents errors such as missing medication information, missing patient information, dispensing formulations, prescription errors, tracking therapy, and others that can occur during the manual process. One of the most common types of errors is incorrect labeling information and instructions. To improve healthcare facilities and services and to ensure patient safety, it is vital to reduce prescription error, which is why the pharmacy automation system is used in quite important ways to eliminate storage, inventory, usage, and retrieval error. The use of pharmacy automation is highly acceptable and beneficial in increasing the efficiency and accuracy of pharmacies. Furthermore, the need for preventing medication errors and the rising geriatric population across the globe are likely to boost the market growth in the forecast period.

North America Pharmacy Automation Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:

DRIVERS

  • Growing Need to Minimize Medication Errors

Medical errors are the leading cause of death in countries, further leading to increased hospitalization worldwide. Medication errors are of various types that include errors in the chain of pharmacological and pharmaceutical patient care: prescription errors, dispensing errors, administration errors, transcription errors, prescribing faults, and ‘across settings’ errors.

A medication mistake can occur due to a number of variables, such as inadequate order coordination between the doctor and pharmacist, improper storage practices in pharmacies, and misunderstandings arising from the use of identical labels.

Dispensing errors include any anomalies or deviations from the prescribing order, such as dispensing the wrong dose, drug, dosage type, incorrect amount, or insufficient, incorrect, or inadequate labeling. The misleading or insufficient instruction for use, improper planning, packaging, or storage of medication before dispensing is also considered a medication error.

In a pharmacy that fills 250 prescriptions per day, errors occur at a rate of 4 per day, amounting to an estimated 51.5 million errors out of 3 billion prescriptions filled annually across the nation.

  • Rising Demand for Pharmaceuticals

The escalating demand for pharmaceuticals is observed across the globe due to the surging incidence of chronic diseases such as cancers, diabetes, obesity, and asthma among others. The people suffering from these diseases are dependent on one or the other medication prescribed to them by their physicians.

Also, the aging population is increasing North America due to the availability of better healthcare facilities. Increased research and development leading to the launch of effective and novel medications oriented to specific diseases further aids in the surging demand for pharmaceuticals.

Moreover, the emergence of COVID-19 also has increased the demand for various medications worldwide which include vitamin-C tablets and hydroxychloroquine, among others leading to a significant rise in the demand for pharmaceuticals.

OPPORTUNITY

  •  Need for Increasing the Efficiency of Work within the Pharmacies

Every pharmacy is trying to do the same things which include correctly and efficiently filling prescriptions, providing high-quality patient care, and maintaining a sustainable business model in which workers have good job satisfaction and consumers are satisfied.

In order to improve the effectiveness of their pharmacy activities in support of overall hospital strategies and priorities to provide high-quality patient-centered care, many hospital and pharmacy leaders have started adopting pharmacy automation systems.

The adoption of enhanced workflow and pharmacy automation software and system has potentially increased the efficiency of the pharmacies. Thereby, the need for increasing the efficiency of work within the pharmacies acts as an opportunity for market growth.

RESTRAINT

  • High Capital Investment

Pharmacy automation systems are more costly as compared to manual systems. The price of an average pharmacy automation system starts at USD 59,198.45 but for more exotic versions, it can be as high as USD 591,984.50.

Since the capital investment needed for the pharmacy automation system implementation is significantly high, it makes it difficult to adopt such systems in hospitals and pharmacies in developing nations along with small pharmacies across the globe. Thus, the high capital investment leads to the decreased adoption rate of pharmacy automation systems. Hence, it acts as a restraint for market growth.

CHALLENGE

  • Stringent Regulatory Procedures

Hospitals and pharmacies are required to play a crucial role in the drug supply chain of the nation: the distribution of medicines to the public. Among the several regulations — state and federal — that regulate medicine dispensing practices, there are 3 important laws relating to the protection and security of both the general public and practitioners in the industry.

These laws apply to Drug supply chain protection, controlled substance regulation and safety, and pharmaceutical hazardous waste management — and are implemented by the FDA, DEA, and EPA.

Manufacturers of automated pharmaceutical systems, therefore, have to comply with various regulations; maintaining such compliance is a tedious job and can delay product launches. Thus, the stringency of regulatory procedures acts as a challenge to market growth.
