Online Pharmacy Market Growth & Trends

The market growth is restrained by the lack of physical evaluation of the medicines and inadequate security of the personal, financial, and health data. Some online pharmacies fail to provide sufficient surety of the secure transaction, which discourages consumers to place the order. The Covid-19 pandemic that resulted in the lockdown and restrictions worldwide forced consumers to incline towards the digital and online route for their everyday needs. Many consumers in order to access medicines adopted online pharmacies during the pandemic as the government initiatives helped online pharmacies to flourish during the Covid-19 pandemic.

The vitamins and minerals type segment is expected to register the highest CAGR of 11.5% from 2021 to 2028. Vitamins and minerals deficiency is responsible for various health issues including anemia and osteoporosis as proven by many studies. In addition, the rising consumption of fast food and junk food is leading to the increasing deficiency of vitamins and minerals. The growing trend of health consciousness and health tracking is encouraging consumers to opt for vitamin and mineral supplements. This shift in consumer behavior is likely to drive the segment over the forecast period.

Europe held the second-largest revenue share in 2020. The positive attitude of the consumers towards the purchase of the medicine over online websites and mobile pharmacy apps is contributing to the growth of the regional market. Additionally, the prominent presence of the online pharmacy companies in the region and highly digitized and techno-savvy consumers profile are fueling the regional market growth.
