Market Overview
The rising need to reduce pharmaceutical errors, rapid decentralisation of pharmacies, rising geriatric population, and rising labour costs are projected to drive the pharmacy automation industry. Reluctance among healthcare organisations to embrace pharmacy automation systems, on the other hand, is likely to limit overall market growth to some amount during the forecast period. According to Market Research Future, the Pharmacy Automation Market Size is expected to increase from USD 3.63 billion in 2022 to USD 5.38 billion by 2022, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 8.2%.
Furthermore, the growing demand for specialised medicine prescription filling solutions, the growing desire to reduce medication errors, and the decentralisation of pharmacies are all driving the pharmacy automation industry.
