The global ePharmacy market, which witnessed sales of US$ 99 billion in 2024, is poised for extraordinary growth in the coming decade, according to the latest report from Fairfield Market Research. The ePharmacy sector is on track to outpace historical growth rates, offering an absolute dollar opportunity of US$ 510 billion during the forecast period.
The primary driver behind the robust growth of the ePharmacy market is the increasing ubiquity of the internet. As internet penetration continues to expand globally, online pharmacies have flourished, offering consumers the convenience of purchasing medications and prescription devices through both online and traditional brick-and-mortar channels. These online pharmacies fulfill on-demand orders placed over the internet and provide prescription deliveries through mail services.
Government initiatives aimed at enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of public healthcare systems have played a pivotal role in propelling the ePharmacy market forward. Notable examples include India's National Health Portal, Online registering system, e-hospital@NIC, and the Central Drugs Standards Control Organization (SUGAM). Moreover, the Union Cabinet of India's approval of amending the existing Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) law in the pharmaceutical sector to 100% has further facilitated drug production and the manufacturing of life-saving medicines.
The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is emerging as a hotspot for ePharmacy market growth, with several major companies expanding their production units across different APAC locations to enhance distribution efficiency. This shift in diversification offers substantial opportunities for the ePharmacy market.
The United States, with its growing number of hospital admissions and favorable medicare reimbursement policies, is a key contributor to the global ePharmacy market's success. CVS Pharmacy, a leading specialty drug pharmacy in the U.S., has significantly expanded its presence in recent years, reflecting the dynamic changes in the pharmacy industry.
The U.K. ePharmacy market is on track to achieve remarkable growth, with a substantial market size anticipated by 2033. A projected CAGR from 2024 to 2033 is expected to create substantial absolute dollar opportunities during this period.
