Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 203.4 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 16.4% during 2023-2028. The growing adoption of e-commerce platforms, the emerging popularity of mobile-based software applications, and the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic represent some of the key factors driving the market.

E-pharmacy, also known as online or internet pharmacy, refers to the practice of selling prescription medications and other healthcare products online through a website or mobile application. It provides a platform for consumers to browse and purchase medications, health supplements, over-the-counter drugs, and other healthcare products from the comfort of their homes. It also offers features such as medication reminders, personalized health information, and access to a wide range of healthcare products. They mainly function through online branches of brick-and-mortar pharmacies, internet-only outlets, and outlets promoting pharmacy associations. These pharmacies are regulated by authorities in their respective countries to ensure compliance with pharmacy laws and regulations, including patient confidentiality, quality assurance, and safe dispensing practices. In addition, they deliver the orders to the customers on their doorstep and offer cost- and time efficiency, enhanced convenience, and a vast range of products. Owing to these benefits, e-pharmacy services are gaining widespread popularity across the globe.

E-Pharmacy Market Trends:

The market is primarily driven by the growing adoption of e-commerce platforms in the pharmaceutical sector. In addition, the increasing internet connectivity and the rising penetration of smart devices represent other major growth. Besides this, elderly patients are widely adopting e-pharmacy services for regulated doorstep delivery of medicines, personal care products, and medical devices. This, coupled with the emerging popularity of mobile-based software applications that offer in-app benefits, such as discounted offers, customized purchases, and express delivery, is positively influencing the market growth. Additionally, with healthcare costs continuing to rise, consumers are adopting e-pharmacies to save money as they offer lower prices than traditional pharmacies.
