Summary:
The global market for medication adherence (hardware-based automation and adherence systems and software-based applications) was worth $REDACTED billion in 2019. The market is expected to reach over $REDACTED billion by 2025, increasing at a CAGR of REDACTED% from 2020 through 2025. This steep increase is fueled by aburgeoning demand for advanced medication adherence systems and a growing number of people worldwide with chronic diseases.
Reasons for Doing This Study
Medication non adherence remains a common healthcare problem across developed and developing nations. It is one of the major public health concerns because it adversely impacts patient outcomes, increases healthcare utilization and associated costs. According to the CDC, about REDACTED% to REDACTED% of medication prescriptions are never filled, and about half of all prescribed medications are not taken as prescribed. More than REDACTED% of patients leave a physician’s office with a prescription in hand, but as manyas half of all patients do not take their medications as prescribed. Poor adherence causes approximately REDACTED% to REDACTED% of medication-related hospitalizations and
accounts for more than $REDACTED billion in annual healthcare costs in the U.S. alone. Patients are considered adherent when they take their prescribed medications at the doses and times recommended by their healthcare provider.
Pharmaceutical, medical device and healthcare providers are turning to medication adherence systems and software application to deal with the current challenges associated with medication nonadherence. Dispensing cabinets and dispensers automate the management and dispensing of medications while smart pill bottles help in dispensing the right medication at the right time, in the right quantity with the right instructions. Increasing acceptance of medication therapy management systems, smart pill bottles, smart caps, automated pill dispensers, electronic trays, smart medical watches, smart medical alarms, wearable sensors, specialized packaging systems and software-based internet applications (cloud-based databases, web portals and mobile applications) are helping patients, payers and providers with the management, dispensing and monitoring of medications.
Overall, medication adherence systems offer improved drug adherence, real-time data monitoring, logical calculations and network communication. Medication adherence systems can be categorized into two major segments: hardware-based medication adherence systems and software-based internet applications (apps). The growth of the medication adherence systems market is being driven mainly by factors such as the growing elderly population, the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, the widespread adoption of smartphones and other technological advancements within the life sciences industry.
