Market Insights and Analyst View:
Pharmacy automation entails processes and technologies that automate repetitive tasks and allow pharmacists to focus more on their core competencies and revenue-generating operations. Pharmacy automation provides several benefits to pharmacy owners, including increased accuracy and speed, space savings, narcotics security, and inventory management. Pharmacy automation involves automating four major aspects of pharmacies: data management, medication packaging, medication compounding, and dispensing and storage.
The growing adoption of robotic pharmacies and increasing risk of medication errors fuel the growth of the pharmacy automation systems market. Moreover, technological advancements by the key players are likely to drive the growth of the pharmacy automation systems market in the coming years. In September 2021, Deenova reported winning its first-ever contract in Germany and parallelly established Deenova operations in Europe’s largest GDP healthcare market. This outstanding contract award includes delivery, installation, and full service/support for 3 all-in-1 packaging robots, 34 all-in-1 station medication dispensing robots, and 72 all-in-1 trolleys with secure bed-side verification at Marien Hospital Gelsenkirchen, an operating company in the service network of St. Augustinus Gelsenkirchen GmbH.
Growth Drivers:
Growing Adoption of Robotic Pharmacy Propels Pharmacy Automation Systems Market Growth
In the healthcare sector, automated systems are incorporated into different processes to provide information about stock and inventory, and aid in traceability and streamlined storage. Thus, automation relieves pharmacists from labor-intensive distributive functions and enhances workflow efficiency in pharmacies. Moreover, the adoption of robotics and automated systems is rising in pharmacies in developing regions. In March 2022, Emirates Health Services (EHS) announced the launch of four robotic pharmacies under its robotic pharmacies project. The EHS implemented its project in Abdullah Bin Omran Hospital for Obstetrics & Gynecology, Al Qassimi Hospital, Ibrahim Bin Hamad Obaidullah Hospital, and Al Qassimi Women’s and Children’s Hospital. The organization states that the dispensing systems incorporated in these hospitals are integrated with robots. The launch of robotic pharmacies is also expected to confer customer satisfaction and build their confidence in pharmacy services.
Leading pharmacy automation system vendors continuously focus on developments and introduction of their innovations. In February 2021, Omnicell Inc. announced the launch of its Medimat system. Medimat is a next-generation, automated dispensing system for retail pharmacies. It has been built for improved patient safety, efficient time utilization, and financial savings. In August 2021, innovativeAspirations (iA), a commercial provider of software-enabled pharmacy fulfillment and automation solutions, launched three solutions that are integrated with Medimat’s NEXiA technology to manage the fulfillment of prescribed medicines centrally. iA has also introduced SmartPod, a next-generation robot with a modular autofill unit. SmartPod allows pharmacy providers to adjust and scale their centralized fulfillment solutions. Thus, the growing adoption of robotic pharmacies with the introduction of next-generation automated systems fuels the growth of the pharmacy automation systems market.
