MARKET DRIVERS

Growing adoption of ePedigree software, increasing need for product tracking, and technological developments in improving the pharma supply chain are propelling the ePedigree software market.

Pharmaceutical drug tracking is complex. ePedigree software was chosen by organizations to prevent drug trafficking and counterfeiting. The Pedigree software information facts include serial numbers, item-to-package ratios, and predetermined bundles. Tracking starts from the transactions' date and all parties' names and addresses. Each pharmaceutical company handling the product must carry forward all the previous e-pedigree information when it moves from one place to another. When it reaches its destination, the retailer will have a complete document showing where that shipment has been and who handled it.

The growth of the ePedigree software market is further anticipated to be driven by the demand for data security.

Launching the RFID Data Management Server will help pharmaceutical companies adhere to various state pedigree regulations. Pharmaceutical businesses can produce, send, receive, authenticate, and digitally sign electronic pedigree records by state laws due to e-Pedigree management. In this way, ePedigree software provides security to the data.

Governments and pharmaceutical companies consider that by introducing product serialization, counterfeiting can be reduced. All these companies are taking measures to meet the new Drug Quality Security Act in 2017 to reduce drug counterfeiting and product diversion when they face the challenge of adopting serialization and tracking systems for both self-interests. Serialization requires constant monitoring of the path of pharmaceuticals throughout the whole supply chain. Each product is identified by a unique serial number, shelf life, and batch-wide variation of that product.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

High costs associated with the software and maintenance, increasing security issues, and lack of awareness are some factors restraining the ePedigree software market. Low investment in anti-counterfeiting technology is the major challenge for market growth.
