north america automated compounding systems Market

The North America automated compounding systemsmarket is expected to reach US$ 339.69 millionby 2027 from US$ 197.53 million in 2019. The market is estimated to grow with a CAGR of 7.2% from 2020 to 2027.

The automated compounding systemsmarketis growing primarily due to the growing adoption of chemotherapy, personalized medication, and rising need to minimize medication errors in the North America region. High cost of the automated compounding systems and COVID-19 pandemicare likely to restrain the growth of the market in coming years. Additionally, increasing awareness about automated compounding systemsamong pharmacistsand introduction of novel robotic technology automation in compounding systemsare likely to increase the growth of the automated compounding systems marketduring the forecast period.

Automated compounding system is a device that combines one or more drug solutions to final container for patient administration. Automated compounding system helps avoid medication error that occurs due to variety of factors such as poor management communication between the physician and pharmacist, critical storage practices in pharmacies, and confusion caused due to the use of similar labels. However, with the automated compounding systems, the accuracy as well as efficiency of dispensing compounded products have improved, and it has further reduced the exposure of healthcare professionals to toxic agents.

The rapid adoption of novel therapies, such as chemotherapy in oncology has been reported to provide better treatment options for breast, lung, and prostate cancers. The area of precision and personalized medicine (PPM) is developed to make therapies for a single patient or specific groups based on data that captures current and past physical health and environmental experience. Recently, several reports showed that the assimilation of PPM viewpoint into cancer research and treatment will result into significant enhancements in fighting cancer, mainly due to its complexity and interpatient unpredictability. Diana (ICU Medical, Inc.) helps to reduce human data entry errors and increase preparation traceability. Diana uses ChemoClave components to protect clinicians against dangerous drugs and unintended needle sticks while treating the patients. Therefore, the increasing adoption of chemotherapy is ranked among the leading factors for the growth of the automated compounding systems market.

Organizations and associations are working toward creating awareness among pharmacists about medication processes.

This has eventually shifted their focus from their regular supply of automated compounding systems. Majority of the companies which are operating in the manufacturing segment of automated compounding systems products are currently working on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), such as gloves, masks, and gowns. In the upcoming years, the research activities are expected to accelerate owing to their potential in treating wide range of diseases. The COVID-19 outbreak highlights potential vulnerabilities in both our drug supply chain and clinical infrastructure, including the availability of adequate clinician resources.

In 2019, the gravimetric automated compounding systems segment accounted for the largest share in the North America automated compounding systemsmarket. The growth of the gravimetric automated compounding systems is attributed toaccuracy provided by the systems, preference by the pharmacies and hospitals for the gravimetric systems, enormous commercial use of these systems in the market.

Some of the significant secondary sources for automated compounding systemsmarket included in the report are the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), National Coordinating Council for Medication Error Reporting and Prevention (NCC MERP), American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy (AACP), and others
