The U.S. pharmacy automation devices market size was worth USD 1.40 billon in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8% during the forecast period.


Pharmacy automation devices are systems primarily used in hospitals and pharmacies to store and dispense medications for improved medication safety, better inventory management, and increased drug storage capacity. The adoption of these systems reduces medication dispensing errors and boosts prescription volume and efficiency among patients. The growing concerns about medication dispensing errors among patients and the rising demand for advanced systems for drug prescription filling across retail and hospital pharmacies propel the market growth in the country.



  • As per Cross River Therapy statistics published in September 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration receives over 100,000 reports of medication errors each year.


The increasing demand for these devices, coupled with the rising introduction of technologically advanced systems by key industry players, will further augment the pharmacy automation devices market growth across the country. Similarly, the increasing number of patient admissions across hospitals for treatment, coupled with the high demand for medication dispensing systems across decentralized hospital pharmacies, further drives the market growth.


This market witnessed a negative impact due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, owing to a decline in patients visiting health settings, such as hospitals and outpatient & retail pharmacies across the nation.


U.S. Pharmacy Automation Devices Market Trends


Rise in Adoption of Robotic Automated Systems across the U.S. Hospital Pharmacies to Propel Market Growth


The incidence of medical prescription errors across clinical settings is high. Thus, hospital pharmacies across the U.S. are now emphasizing the adoption of robotic systems for barcoding, dispensing, intravenous workflow, and intravenous compounding of medications among patients. Moreover, the high potential advantages of these systems, such as patient safety, ease of drug dispensing, and efficient inventory management as compared to manual dispensing devices, cater to the pharmacy automation devices market growth in the U.S.



  • According to the statistics published by the national survey conducted by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists (ASHP) in 2020, 74.5% of hospitals use robots for drug dispensing.


Thus, the rising adoption of robotic systems across retail hospital pharmacies further augments market growth.

U.S. Pharmacy Automation Devices Market Growth Factors


Rising Strategic Acquisitions and Product Launches by Key Corporations will Propel Growth


The demand for automated dispensing systems is high across U.S. hospitals and retail pharmacies. Thus, the market players are focusing on strategic initiatives, such as mergers and acquisitions to expand their pharmacy automation devices portfolio in the U.S. market. Moreover, the strong focus of these players on technological advancements and improving the digital capabilities of these automation devices to be installed in hospital pharmacies drives the demand for pharmacy automation devices during the forecast period. Moreover, the rising presence of industry players with automation software that is integrated with systems further propels market growth.



  • In August 2021, Capsa Healthcare acquired Specialty Carts Inc. to expand LTC's medication management capabilities. The acquisition will continue Capsa’s ability to provide a highly diverse product offering in pharmacy automation.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Need for High Capital Investments for Installation of the Devices to Hamper Market Growth


The increasing number of installations of automation devices requires high capital investment as compared to manual setups. Additionally, the growing concerns over return on investment (ROI) related to pharmacy automation devices may limit its adoption by hospitals and pharmacies, which is further hampering the market growth.



  • According to data revealed by SpaceMed, in May 2023, though pharmacy automation devices reduce labor costs, lower the risk of dispensing errors, and optimize inventory control, the capital investment for the installation of these devices is high.


Thus, these elements, coupled with rising device maintenance costs by health settings, further limit the U.S. pharmacy automation devices market growth.
