The global automated dispensing machine market was
valued at USD 2.9 billion in 2015 and is expected to reach a value of USD 5.5
billion by 2024, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The
growing pressure on the pharmaceuticals due to reimbursement reduction and
rapidly growing drug prices leads to inefficient supply chain and inventory
management. The growing demand for automated systems, such as RFID cabinet and
barcodes, facilitates real-time inventory and stock management, which is one of
the pivotal factors expected to drive the market in the coming years.
Furthermore, the
increase in global geriatric population and prevalence of various chronic
diseases, as well as high rates of hospitalization are some of the factors
increasing the burden on pharmacy of hospitals and retail drug stores. Upsurge
in number of prescriptions and lack of skilled pharmacist are also few factors
expected to boost automation in the medication dispensing system.
There is increasing
demand for technologically advanced medication dispensing systems to mitigate
long waiting hours for stock replenishment and drug mismanagement, which is one
of the crucial factors expected to drive the usage rate of pharmacy automation
system, such dispensing, storage, and retrieval. Based on the 2011 ASHP
national survey of pharmacy practice in hospital settings, it was stated that
approximately 89% of the hospitals are using automated dispensing cabinets and
over 10% of the hospitals are using robots.
According to a survey
conducted by Society of Actuaries, it was found that measurable medication
errors cost USD 20 billion to the U.S. economy, while majority of these errors
could have been easily avoided. Increase in medication dispensing errors is a
significant factor driving the number of adverse drug reactions, which may lead
to severe deterioration of the patient’s health and may also lead to death;
this is expected to drive the demand in the coming years. For instance, in the
U.S., data published by the Institute of Medicine states that around 7,000
deaths each year can be attributed to medication errors.
