The global pharmacy automation devices industry is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2014 to 2020 and reach over USD 8.99 billion.
Automation systems such as packaging and labeling systems, medication dispensing system, storage and retrieval systems, table-top counters and compounding systems are employed in order improve the efficacy of regular jobs within pharmacies. The market is expected to grow owing to features including system integration that increases productivity and time to clinicians for patient care, thereby lowering medication errors.
Rising demand for pharmaceutical products, progressively growing technology and demand for precise robotic equipment & tools to perform operations at a faster rate are expected to be the key factors for market growth. Untapped growth opportunities in countries such as Brazil, China, and India coupled with escalating demand for automation in pharmacy and healthcare operations is expected to drive growth over the forecast period.
The market was dominated by automated medication dispensing systems in 2013. It accounted for a share of over 47.8% owing to growing demand for accurate medication dispensing systems. Automated dispensing systems have the ability to reduce significantly error rates and the ability to dispense hands-free. They provide storage, recording of medication, distribution to resident care and computer controlled dispensation.
