Pharmacy Automation Devices Market Dynamics

Driver: Rise in Medication Errors

Medication errors are a common concern and causes multiple problems. They can result in serious adverse effects, such as hospitalization, disability, birth defects, life-threatening situations, or death. These errors can occur during different stages of treatment, including prescribing, dispensing, hospitalization, or outpatient follow-up. The wrong dosage forms, drugs, dose, and labeling are often led to medication errors in pharmacies. Pharmacy automation can significantly reduce medication errors. For instance, automated medication dispensing systems can reduce medication errors by medication dose checking, screening similar looking prescription drug pairs, and clinical significance scoring. This, in turn, is estimated to drive the pharmacy automation market in the near future.

Restraint: Lack of Skilled Personnel in Automation Sector

Pharmacy automation solutions are designed to reduce workload in pharmacy operations and compliment human skill sets. However, lack of medical professionals for handling such advanced systems, especially in developing economies, is limiting market growth. Moreover, in developing countries, with increase in burden of geriatric population and rise in prevalence of chronic diseases, the number of prescriptions is growing. Thus, adequate number of skilled professionals are required for managing medication processes. Usage of automated technology requires trained and skilled personnel. Proper operation and handling of pharmacy automation products are necessary to facilitate smooth workflow. Management of software technologies requires assistance of skilled personnel to facilitate hassle-free tasks. However, dearth of trained personnel acts as a major restrain to growth of the pharmacy automation market.

Opportunity: Ongoing Covid-19 Pandemic Is Increasing Awareness Regarding Automation Among Pharmacists

Many pharmacy automation players witnessed a decline in revenue from second quarter of 2020 owing to COVID-19 pandemic. However, the pandemic has exposed gaps and challenges across the pharmacy supply chain, making more sophisticated automation and intelligence capabilities critical to effectively manage medications in the post-COVID world. The systems for managing medicines have remained largely unchanged for decades, while medications have increased in number and complexity, resulting in potentially greater risk of error. In addition, with the traditional methods of operation within pharmacies, pharmacists have witnessed various issues such as increase in medication errors and increased patient waiting time, due to the growing patient load. At present, awareness and concerns regarding medication errors and adverse events are increasing among healthcare professionals. Digitizing processes and improving workflow are helping the end-users better manage costs and improve efficiency across the continuum of care, driving better outcomes & performance and allowing them to reallocate time to focus on patient care.
