MEA Pharmacy Automation System Market

MEA Pharmacy Automation System Market Size (2023 to 2028)

The size of the Pharmacy Automation System Market in the Middle East and Africa was around USD 0.23 Billion in 2023. It is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% to reach USD 0.34 Billion by 2028. It captures 5% of the global market.

The development of improved robots, the rising incidence of chronic diseases, particularly cancer, increased awareness of medical errors, and a paradigm shift toward automation is expected to accelerate the need for pharmacy automation systems in the MEA region during the forecast period. In pharmacy automation, technological breakthroughs in automation, particularly software, are critical. Software is necessary for patient data collection and storage, information transmission between healthcare workers and patients, and workflow management, in addition to the systems that administer medication. Electronic health records (EHR) are employed in conjunction with workflow management systems and robotic equipment to achieve pharmacy automation.

The rising demand for pharmacy automation year after year is the use of modern robots in many markets. Furthermore, as people's interest in automating the pharmaceutical storage and dispensing process grows, the demand for pharmacy automation increases. In addition, to prevent the virus from spreading, most healthcare facilities and pharmacies have chosen automated procedures. Furthermore, as the need for prescription pharmaceuticals has grown, there has been a chance to improve pharmacy automation systems to lower infection rates.

Despite the benefits, some healthcare providers and professionals are hesitant to use or adopt any IT-based pharmacy management system. This is especially true in developing economies where cultural barriers must be overcome. Regulatory clearances are granted based on the device's classification, which varies by nation. Various state pharmacy boards govern automated dispensing devices (ADDs) in healthcare professions. These boards are in charge of pharmaceutical practice regulation and management and pharmacist licensure in the state.
