Pharmacy Automation Market size was valued at USD USD 5,306.3 million in 2022 and is poised to grow at an 8.2 % CAGR from 2023 to 2029. Pharmacy automation refers to the use of mechanical technology to digitalize medical and healthcare workflow operations. By fulfilling several jobs, these devices assist in automating regular processes and eliminating human involvement. Among the tasks include mixing liquids and powders for compounding, medicine counting, keeping customer records, and inventory control. They also help to reduce errors in pharmaceutical packaging and delivery. Moreover, pharmacy automation monitors narcotics and other controlled drugs, tracks consumption patterns, and ensures maximum operating efficiency. The pharmacy automation industry has grown fast in recent years and is expected to develop substantially over the forecast period. As a result, the number of prescriptions written for chronic and life-threatening diseases is increasing.

According to the June 2021 publication of the report "Economic analysis of the prevalence and clinical and economic burden of medication errors in England," the NHS in England produces an estimated 237 million prescription errors per year, resulting in hundreds of fatalities. As a result, hospitals and pharmacies are implementing innovative pharmacy automation technologies to save costs while boosting patient safety. Furthermore, the industry is expanding due to increased awareness among pharmacists. This would create positive chances for the pharmacy automation market's growth. Because of the increasing patient load, pharmacists have witnessed an increase in drug mistakes and longer patient wait times because of outdated pharmacy operating procedures. Healthcare workers are becoming more aware of drug errors and adverse outcomes, and their concerns are growing. Moreover, rising investment in the development of advanced technologies and an increase in the number of emerging markets will provide beneficial opportunities for the pharmacy automation market growth during the forecast period. On the other side, medication approval delays and poor order communication between physicians and pharmacists will stymie industry expansion. The pharmacy automation industry will be challenged by a shortage of qualified experts and a lack of healthcare infrastructure in developing nations.

Pharmacy Automation Market Dynamics

The increasing requirement to reduce prescription errors is a primary driver of the pharmacy automation market's growth pace. Medicines and dispensing errors are two of the leading causes of hospital readmissions across the world. Many factors can contribute to a pharmaceutical error, including insufficient order communication between the doctor and the pharmacist, unsafe pharmacy storage processes, and misunderstanding induced by the use of identical labels. Using automated systems is one of the most effective strategies to eliminate these mistakes.
