Pharmacy Benefit Management Market Scope
The global pharmacy benefit management market can display a staggering CAGR of 5.8% over the forecast period.
Rise in digitization of procurement of medicines, rise in healthcare expenditure, expansive growth of the healthcare sector in developing economies, and demand for advanced healthcare management systems are primarily driving the market growth. Awareness of health insurance and copay assistance programs as well as the surge in population can bolster the market demand as PBM firms try to keep costs down. According to the data by Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), more than 626 healthcare organizations were covered in the U.S. and 92% patients discharged from hospitals.
The COVID-19 pandemic has left an indelible impact on the PBM industry with many companies developing policies to ensure sales of drugs. PBM companies with their own proprietary pharmacies can keep up with the demand for medicines via mail-order and other special methods. But the continuous strain put by the lockdown can increase production and delivery costs.
But lack of awareness in underdeveloped economies and issues pertaining to patient data can hamper the market growth.
