MARKET DRIVERS

Growing Preference Among the Geriatric Population

The growing preference for the automatic pill dispenser among a dominant share by the geriatric population due to its high convenience for the patient is expected to drive the market growth in the APAC region. The senior population is more prone to chronic disorders and needs constant reminders to take medication on time. The increase in chronic disease cases such as diabetes, hypertension and neuromuscular diseases, etc., creates the need for advanced and hassle-free solutions for drug administration. These boosts sales of automatic pill dispensers, which can boost the APAC market. In India, the number of people with diabetes increased from 27.3 million in the 1990s to 69 million in 2017. According to the 2019 National Diabetes and Diabetic Retinopathy Survey report released by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, it was found that the prevalence was 12% in people over the age of 50 years.

Rising Hospitalization Rates Among Seniors

Hospitalization rates have increased as the senior population grows, which has raised the demand for accurate and rapid administration of drugs. In addition to this, the growing irregularities in manual dispensing are likely to drive the growth of the APAC automatic pill dispenser market for years to come. Tablets and capsules are commonly used from automatic pill dispensers.

Availability of High-Quality Medical Facilities

Several factors such as availability of high-quality medical facilities, healthcare awareness, growing pharmaceutical industries in the APAC region, development in robots and carousels to give medications are expected to grow in importance in the coming years. By 2020, China is expected to increase its pharmaceutical market volume to USD 222 billion, becoming the second-largest market after the United States. With a market size of $ 13 billion in 2010, the Indian pharmaceutical market will reach $ 58 billion in 2020, potentially reaching $ 72 billion in an aggressive growth scenario. These numbers depict the increasing drug markets and more chronic disease cases; many growth opportunities are anticipated during the analysis period. In addition, other factors such as improved designs for more convenience, untapped emerging markets, developments in the healthcare field, increased number of home care centers, and increased local regulatory approvals will drive the APAC automatic pill dispenser market.
