COVID-19 IMPACT

Social Distance Protocol and Rapid Development in Healthcare Sector to Boost Market Growth 

The COVID-19 epidemic had a beneficial impact on the market. The current pandemic is putting a major strain on healthcare facilities all across the world. Social isolation and lockdowns were used to control the spread of the virus. Chronic disease patients are unable to access healthcare facilities for normal treatment, and drug administration suffers as a result. Retail pharmacies offered these patients with easy and quick access. During the pandemic, the participation of community chemists at these centres in managing chronic health concerns and improving drug adherence was crucial in decreasing the strain on overburdened health systems around the world. Furthermore, as healthcare providers look for ways to treat patients remotely and reduce the danger of virus transmission, the COVID-19 pandemic has increased demand for medication management systems. The market for medication management systems is expected to rise in the future years as personalised medicine becomes more popular and electronic health records (EHRs) become more widely used.

DRIVING FACTORS

E-prescribing, telemedicine, mHealth, and other HCIT technologies are becoming more popular

The epidemic has significantly increased the load on healthcare organisations around the world. Healthcare facilities are under tremendous pressure to develop a well-coordinated environment in which all clinical gadgets are internally connected and the organisation operates in collaboration with other healthcare units. As of December 5, 2022, there were around 650 million verified COVID-19 cases and 66 million fatalities worldwide, according to Worldometer. Given the high and growing number of cases, some countries' healthcare systems are experiencing a severe scarcity of hospital beds, healthcare workers, and basic medical equipment. This compels hospitals and other healthcare facilities to use capacity management tools in order to track COVID-19 patients and monitor and manage illness progression.

Rising requirement for good medication management systems fuel market growth

The requirement for good medication management systems in order to reduce medication errors Some of the reasons driving market expansion include the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and the growing demand for remote patient monitoring. The expanding number of prescriptions around the world, as well as the growing need to decrease pharmaceutical errors, are driving the medication management system industry. The increasing adoption of IT in the healthcare sector, increasing adoption of automated solutions in workflow management due to the large burden on chemists, and a surge in hospital investment to purchase new software for efficient management of healthcare processes all contribute to the growth of the medication management system market. Medication management services are provided as part of healthcare reforms, technological advancements, and a high adoption rate of these management systems, which are known to reduce medication errors and lower healthcare costs. Furthermore, mergers and acquisitions among key competitors, an ageing population, a high incidence of chronic illness, and rising healthcare expenditure all have a favourable impact on the medication management system market. Furthermore, market potential in emerging nations and a shift towards value-based medicine create profitable chances for medication management system market players from 2025 to 2033.  

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Developing-country IT infrastructure constraints may hamper the market growth

The dearth of skilled IT workers in emerging countries has an impact on the adoption and use of HCIT solutions in these countries. Furthermore, one of the primary barriers to the adoption of HCIT systems is cost. These systems have higher maintenance and software costs than the programme itself. Furthermore, software upgrades to meet changing user requirements are an ongoing expense that accounts for nearly 30% of total cost of ownership. To some extent, the aforementioned limitations impede market expansion in emerging countries.
