The global e-pharma market is expected to
reach USD 109.2 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View
Research, Inc. The market is primarily driven by constant increase in the
number of internet users, improved access to web-based & online services,
and rapid increase in aging population who find it difficult to visit
pharmacies. Convenience, affordability, and ease in availability of medicines
are fueling market growth.
Increase in prevalence of chronic
conditions and diseases across the globe is resulting in constant growth in
demand for various drugs and healthcare products. High cost of treatment is
indicating the need to reduce health care cost. Online pharmacies are gaining
popularity owing to lucrative offers such as price discounts that result in cost
savings. In addition, increase in adoption of e-prescriptions in hospitals and
other healthcare facilities is further expected to boost growth.
High unmet needs of emerging
economies is one of the key driving factors. Government initiatives, increase in
investments, changing regulations, and increasing penetration of internet and
broadband in urban as well as rural areas are contributing to the growth of the
market. Many new players are entering the market as the healthcare sector is
offering huge potential to the online health retailers due to the ever growing
demand for healthcare products and services.
However, growth in illegal online
pharmacies is restraining the growth. These illegitimate websites may offer
counterfeit and unapproved drugs, which make people skeptical about purchasing
medicines online.
