The size of the global automatic pill dispenser market is predicted to grow USD 3.09 billion by 2026 from USD 2.15 billion in 2021, growing at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2021 to 2026.
Automatic pill dispenser devices are meant to make medication counting, medicine management, dispensing, and inventory control easier for pharmacists, doctors, nurses, patients, and caretakers. Pill dispensers are frequently used for medical purposes and assist patients, whether elderly or chronically ill, in taking their prescription medicine, over-the-counter medication, or daily supplements on a fixed schedule. Automated pill dispensers are typically cost-effective and provide accurate results. It also lowers the risk of human error and boosts pharmacy productivity. In addition, for patients with complex prescription schedules and memory loss problems, the automated pill dispenser system helps deliver the proper drug and dose.
MARKET DRIVERS:
The primary factors driving the market growth are the rise in the prevalence of diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's, osteoarthritis, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The automatic pill dispenser machines are very accurate in dispensing medicines. In addition, the growth in the geriatric population and the rise in cardiovascular diseases and respiratory diseases due to an unhealthy lifestyle have supported the pills industry growth, affecting the automatic pill dispenser market.
The governments have recognized the potential, and the rising regulatory approval is forecasted to support the market growth. Increasing investment in home care centers is also expected to propel the development of the market. The rising number of product approvals with the launch of new devices, growing awareness regarding the observance of medication, and huge increase in investments in homecare centers are further expanding the market's growth. Increasing high adoption of technological advancements and rising government initiatives in improving healthcare facilities successfully drive the automatic pill dispenser market globally. Creating awareness over the availability of different devices for home healthcare is likely to propel the market's growth rate.
MARKET RESTRAINTS:
The automatic pill dispensers are run by software, and any small error in software running can prove fatal for the patients. In addition, the continuous service of pill dispensers can be a challenge in a busy hospital environment. There are many costs involved in setting up these pill dispensers, and considering the low return on investment has hampered the growth of the global automatic pill dispenser market.
Impact of COVID-19 on the global automatic pill dispenser market:
COVID-19 has positively impacted the market. The patients suffering from the virus are isolated to avoid the virus's risk of being spread among doctors or relatives. The automatic pill dispenser machine helps such patients correct medication correctly and in the right quantity. It helps in decreasing human interaction and thus reduces the risk of virus spread. The health personal is mostly now available to deal with emergencies and treat patients with high risk. Therefore, this machine helps them to monitor the medication of other patients through tracking by software.
