[224 Pages Report] The digital pharmacy market is projected to reach USD 211.9 billion by 2027 from USD 96.5 billion in 2022, at a CAGR of 17.0% during the forecast period. The growth of this market is driven by the increasing consumer preference toward buying online medicines during and post the COVID-19 pandemic, consolidation in the market and partnerships, and the growing geriatric population.
However, patients relying on pharmacists for clinical support and a growing number of illegal pharmacies are expected to restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period.

The increasing number of internet users, growing access to online services, and the rising implementation of e-prescriptions in healthcare services in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic are other key factors supporting market growth. CVS Health began to employ new measures to balance the requirement of drugs used in the treatment of both COVID-19 and other chronic diseases in March 2020. Amazon launched an online pharmacy service in the US for both generic and prescription medications in November 2020. In pre-COVID times, 70% of households were chronic-first users of digital pharmacy as they found better value in these reasonable & convenient services. However, during the lockdown phase, an equal proportion of chronic-first and acute-first households were onboarded, as digital pharmacy became the need of the hour.Additionally, the growth of the market is also supported by the increased demand for over-the-counter products, such as masks, sanitizers, thermometers, and steamers, among others. Thus, the fast adoption of over-the-counter (OTC) products will positively impact the market.
COVID-19 is one of the leading social and health challenges of our time. The ongoing pandemic has forced a drastic transformation of lifeat every level of society. The high infection rate of COVID-19 led to an increased demand for medication in hospitals and home care settings. COVID-19 has changed the way in which businesses are conducted. Consumer attitudes, behaviors, and purchasing habits have all changedand many of these new patterns will remain post-pandemic. Nationwide lockdowns during the pandemic forced people to stay indoors. This pushed people to switch to online channels for the purchase of goods & services as well as to pay bills and consult with doctors. According to the FICCI 2020 report, more than 75% of all consumers cited that their online pharmacy purchases either increased or remained the same. This changing consumer behavior is expected to drive the market for digital pharmacy solutions in the coming years.
Illegal internet pharmacies are often international operations with servers, shipping operations, and other parts of the business located in several countries. The WHO emphasizes that substandard and falsified products may result in patient harm and suboptimal treatment, leading to an overall mistrust of medications, healthcare providers, and the health system. In 2021, the FDA issued warning letters to website operators engaged in illegal activity in violation of the US Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Consumers seeking overseas options to obtain medicines also pose a threat to the pharmaceutical industry and pharmacists of the respective country. Such illegal buying behaviors can result in the loss of credibility and faith in online medicine and may hinder the greater adoption of digital pharmacy solutions globally
According to the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering 2019, 66% of countries worldwide do not have laws that explicitly regulate or prohibit the online sales of medicinal products. As a result, regulatory authorities in these countries are only able to employ the buyers beware approach so that consumers remain vigilant when buying medicinal products online. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) estimated that there are more than 80,000 websites that allow individuals to place medication orders through illegal pharmacies. Customers choose to utilize online pharmacies over traditional brick-and-mortar pharmacies for a variety of reasons, including accessibility, time constraints, and potential cost savings. In Nigeria, the body responsible for licensing pharmacies, the Pharmacy Council of Nigeria, has developed rules to guide the regulatory process for e-pharmacies in 2016, but they have not yet been made public. Until an international legal framework is formed and agreed upon, illegal pharmacies will continue to expand and inappropriately dispense medications to consumers. This may hinder the growth of the digital pharmacy market in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs).
Emerging economies are expected to become a focal point for growth in the digital pharmacy market. Developing countries possess a high geriatric population. In China, the population of individuals aged 65 years and above was estimated to be 131.4 million in 2015 and was expected to grow by 29.0% to reach 169.6 million by 2020 (Source: The United Nations Population Division Statistics). As the elderly are more susceptible to diseases, the rising geriatric population is expected to drive patient volumes in several countries across the globe. This, in turn, will increase the demand for digital pharmacy solutions. The developing economies, growing government support, rising life science research, and improving healthcare infrastructure in China, Korea, and India also compel pharmacies in these countries to opt for online platforms. Due to these factors, major players are investing in the Asia Pacific region.
North America accounted for the largest share of the market. The increasing prevalence of chronic conditions, the rising number of drug prescriptions resulting from the rapidly growing aging population, and the presence of key market players in the region are the key factors driving the growth of the market in North America.
