Significant Market Trends

Increasing adoption of automation in healthcare is the key trend in the market. Fully automated pharmacy solutions can help save time and the cost of staffing as automation replaces manually intensive tasks, which allows researchers to devote more time to patient consultation and precision in diagnosis. Automation also improves pharmacy productivity and generates precise results by eliminating the chances of human error.

Moreover, automation also contributes to data-driven insights as the technology used to automate processes can deliver a large volume of data, which can be used for performance improvement and optimization. With each step, automated systems collect data on the working of the process and use the information to improve the same process, which increases throughput and reduces the workload on healthcare professionals. This increasing trend in the adoption of automation in healthcare is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Major Market Challenge

One of the major challenges impeding market growth is the stringent government regulations for the approval of pharmacy automation systems. The commercialization of the fill finish manufacturing automation system, which is a pharmacy automation system, is a challenging process as this system cannot be marketed without abiding by the guidelines jointly set by the Department of Public Health of the Board of Registration in Pharmacy, Drug Control Program and the Division of Health Care Quality in the US. A pharmacy must notify the board and the department prior to using an automated pharmacy system, providing information such as the name and address of the pharmacy, the hours of operation of the system, the type or name of the system, and a description of how the pharmacy would use the system.

Moreover, the laws and regulations regarding the approval process of these systems vary across countries, which is a major challenge faced by multinational companies. Thus, stringent government regulations related to the fill-finish manufacturing market in several countries are expected to hamper the development and commercialization of the market during the forecast period.
