Market Scenario
Market Research Future (MRFR) postulates that the global automated dispensing machines market share is likely to expand at a CAGR of 9.8% during the forecast period (2023-2032). Patient satisfaction across the globe is likely to favor its growth. Automated dispensing machines are specifically designed for the centralized filing of individual patient prescription along with unit-dose medication and decentralized dispensing. The automated dispensing machines aim towards decreasing the prevalence of patient medication error. The utilization of automated dispensing machines further assists the hospitals to achieve the safety goal.
Market Potential and Pitfalls
The automated dispensing machines market is expanding at breakneck speed owing to resource management, patient satisfaction, and the rapid development of technology in the healthcare sector. The surging demand for automated dispensing machines market has led the companies to focus on developing effective automated dispensing equipment. For instance, Omnicell, Inc. completed the acquisition of Aesynt Holding Coöperatief U.A in January 2016. The acquisition has added distinct capabilities in central pharmacy robotics, IV robotics, analytics, and automated dispensing systems.
The surging number of initiatives by the government supporting the pharmacists and the healthcare institutes in order to make high use of technologically advanced medication dispensing system to limit the medication errors is estimated to fuel the demand for automated dispensing machines market during the appraisal period. According to the American Society of Health System Pharmacists, the hospitals spend almost 70% on their pharmacy department. Moreover, the augmenting rate of death owing to the consumption of expired drugs and the rapid increase in the number of patients are some of the factors contributing to the growth of the market globally. The dearth of therapeutic trainings, inadequate perception of risks, and poor communication between the patients and the healthcare professionals are adding up to the market growth.
On the contrary, the regulatory and legislative barriers coupled with the implementation and medication barriers are considered to vitiate the market growth across the globe. Power failures, malfunctions, and unplanned maintenance of the machines are some of the top barriers likely to curb the market growth in the long run.
