The global ePharmacy Market size is expected to reach USD 169.3 billion by 2028 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 18.4% over the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Factors driving the adoption of ePharmacy include the improved access to online & web-based services, increasing awareness regarding e-comme rce amongst consumers, rise in the number of internet users, and a surge in the aging population experiencing difficulty to visit pharmacies. In addition, benefits, such as affordability, convenience, and ease in the availability of medicines, are boosting the adoption of these platforms. High treatment costs are driving the demand for low-cost healthcare services, which, in turn, is bolstering the adoption of online pharmacies owing to the lucrative offers, such as price discounts, provided by them.
The COVID-19 pandemic has positively impacted the
market growth and transformed the fortunes of ePharma companies owing to
increasing consumer switch from traditional buying towards online purchases of
general medications and medical devices, such as oximeters, thermometers, and
health supplements. As per an article published by Economic Times, in July
2021, the number of households utilizing ePharmacy services grew 2.5 times to
9.0 million during the pandemic. Thus, the ePharmacy segment has also gained
significant growth during the lockdown period imposed due to the pandemic, as
governments declared the delivery of medicines through e-commerce platforms as
essential services.
