Automated Dispensing Machines Market Trends



The  automated dispensing devices market was worth USD 2.9 billion in 2015, and it's expected to rise at a healthy CAGR of over 7% over the next few years. During the projected period, rising government activities to support healthcare institutes and pharmacists by deploying a technologically enhanced medicine dispensing system to prevent pharmaceutical errors are predicted to boost utilization rates. This factor drives the market CAGR.


Additionally, one of the variables indicating an increased risk of pharmaceutical errors is a lack of proper pharmacy inventory management standards in hospitals. The need for more pharmacists and technicians is a major factor limiting industry expansion. The sample means density for the number of pharmacists per 10,000 inhabitants was 6.02, according to the 2012 FIP Pharmacy  Work Force Report. Implementing automated dispensing systems in hospitals is driven by a need for more adequate skilled workers and a high error rate in manual dispensing. Due to increased demand for technology advancement and a reduction in the overall cost associated with inventory management, the outpatient segment is predicted to rise at a profitable CAGR of 7.00 %. Furthermore, the growing demand for real-time inventory tracking, automation in the pharmaceutical delivery system, and efficient order management are key indicators pointing to an increased need for automated dispensing equipment to reduce excess inventory and meet patient needs. One of the key reasons expected to drive growth in the next years is an increase in the number of patients seeking home and long-term care.Thus, moving the Automated Dispensing Machines market revenue.
