The number of patients requiring chemotherapy annually will increase from 9.8 million in 2018 to 15 million by 2040 as per the Lancet Oncology journal. This is indicative of the provision for chemo drugs which are likely to positively affect the global pharmacy automation system market for drug dispensing and delivering on a large scale significantly leveraging high revenue. Furthermore, the significant occurrence of new diseases such as Ebola and other hemorrhagic fevers will necessitate the production of effective medication resultantly elevating the demand for automated drug dispense systems in healthcare organizations to provide safe medication to the people all across the globe.

Growing Electronic Medication And Shortage of Drugs:

Electronic medication systems aids to the minimization of pharmacy error while dispensing and distributing drugs and doses owing to which it is gaining wide-scale demand in several medical organizations. Implementation of pharmacy regulations as set by the governmental drugs administration also co-aligns with the deployment of pharmacy automation system which alerts about any noncompliance medication thereby maintaining patient safety and promoting the precision of the pharmacy department in the medical sector. Increase in the number of outpatients and error induced by conventional community pharmacy also adds to the rise in the automated drug dispense systems throughout the world enhancing the medication management process with specific patient information verification and accurately labeling individual drug packaging. Additionally, drug shortage is a major concern with serious implications such as delay inpatient treatment, less effective treatment, and compromised recommended treatment compelling medical utilities to consider alternative pharmacy options which will eliminate such excessive inconveniences. According to the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, around 186 kinds of drug shortages were registered in the year 2018 making providing scope for the automation pharmacy system to deliver effectively medication to fill the new drug shortages thereby propelling the niche market growth. With a huge database for medication information, pharmacy automation systems facilitates computerized bulk storage, record and tracking of medication detailing and transactions, also expediting the accurate quantity of packaging and dispensing of drugs consequently pulling huge demand in the global medical industry.

Capital Investment for Pharmacy Robotics And Automation:

Digitized workflow network provides technological supremacy over the manual methods of medication distribution subsequently promoting the financial income of the niche market and solutions towards growing pharmacy error worldwide. Resultantly, several companies and medical sectors are investing largely to incorporate pharmacy automation systems which will eventually reduce the work congestion and improvise patient indulgence experience. Recently, Rowland Pharmacy in the U.K. announced to sell 70 of its pharmacy branches to embrace the advanced technology and deploy automation technique and strengthening its overall community pharmacy network. Similarly, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) deployed its fifth smart pharmacy at Dubai’s Rashid Hospital and robot pharmacy dispensing medication at the Dubai Hospital in 2017. The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) also highlights that the robotic drug dispensing stores approximately 35,000 medicines and facilitates dispense of 12 prescription medication within an interval of one minute. Also, the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust had an annual expenditure of $1.13 million on pharmacy robots during the period of 2017-2018. This is indicative of the emerging revolutionary trend shift towards smart pharmacy technology which gradually opens a wide scope of opportunity for the global pharmacy automation system market in the forthcoming years.
