E-Pharma Market - Forecasts from 2019 to 2024
The global e-pharma market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 19.3% to reach US$72,694 million by 2024, from US$25,212 million in 2018. With rapid internet penetration across the global economy, the adoption of e-commerce model and digital technologies to the pharmaceutical industry is going to be a big game changer in the pharmaceutical markets across the globe. Increasing demand for common drugs, increasing rate of ingestion of medicines, growth in efficient manufacturing technologies and aging population are some of the factors intensely propelling the e-Pharma industry all over the globe. Europe and North America hold big shares in the market and emerging markets in Asia-Pacific have been showing a high growth rate. This fast growth can be attributed to the availability of skilled labor force and lower labor costs in these markets. However, dealing with stringent government regulations and controlling the sale of unapproved and counterfeit medicines will be some of the challenges this industry is going to face in the coming years.
