The alarming rate of medication errors and related deaths have urged healthcare authorities to make regulations pertaining to patient safety extra stringent. This has driven several retail pharmacists and healthcare institutes to improve their outpatient services, according to a new report on the Pharmacy Repackaging Systems Market from Transparency Market Research.
TMR says these factors have translated into the adoption of advanced technologies, ranging from a tablet counter to a compact dispensing robot, to improve their pharmacy workflow. The rise in the number of outpatient visits has encouraged pharmacists and hospitals to incorporate automated systems to improve their prescription handling capacity.
The trends, says TMR, will result in an expansion in the global pharmacy repackaging systems market—from a value ofUS$997.1 million in 2015—to US$1.8 billion by the end of 2024. From 2016 to 2024, the global market is expected to show a 7.8% Compound Annual Growth Rate, notes TMR.
