Pune, India, February 2019/MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future has published a half-cooked research report on the Global Automated Dispensing Machines Market.

Automated Dispensing Machines Market Insight

As per the prognosis by Market Research Future (MRFR), the global automated dispensing machines market is on its way to achieve the valuation of USD 4,931 million by the end of 2023. Furthermore, the market is slated to expand at a CAGR of 8.1% during the forecast period (2018-2023).

Market Drivers and Restraints

Increasing number of government initiatives supporting healthcare institutes and pharmacists making extensive use of technologically advanced medication dispensing system for reduction of medication errors, will be highly instrumental in the augmented usage rate in the coming years. As per the American Society of Health System Pharmacists, hospitals generally spend around 70% to 75% on their pharmacy department. On the basis of the estimates of the Institutes for Safety Medication Practices, more than 20% of the healthcare professionals have reported extreme patient effects owing to the lack of proper monitoring of inventory management as well as supply levels. On that note, the rising death rate due to the consumption of expired drugs coupled with the rapidly increasing number of patients are few prominent factors that have elevated the complexity level in the medication distribution system.

Adding on, the lack of therapeutic trainings, poor communication between healthcare professionals and patients and inadequate perception of risks, are additional factors promoting the growth of the automated dispensing machines market. based on a study that was conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2016, the United Kingdom (U.K) noted around 12% of total primary care patients were affected by a prescribing or monitoring error in a year, with 38% increase in those who were 75 years and older along with 30% patients receiving five or more drugs during a year period. Sadly, 5% of the total prescriptions had errors that year.

At a global level, the need for devices and drugs used for treating patients who suffer from various kinds of chronic diseases is rissing. To illustrate, in the year 2015, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that almost 91 people died every day due to overdose of prescribed heroin and opioids. These reports are further proof that automated dispensing machines are highly crucial in the healthcare industry. However, the growth of the automated dispensing machines market could be hampered due to the stringent government regulations across various regions around the world.

But the overall growth of the global market will remain unaffected, backed by the rising labor costs, rising home healthcare services and decentralization of pharmacies, which are set to give a significant push to the market growth in the near future.
