Digital Prescription Technology Market

Market Synopsis:

The global Digital Prescription Technology Market is valued at USD 6016.7 Million in 2024 and is projected to reach a value of USD 61570 Million by 2035 at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 23.55% between 2025 and 2035. The Digital Prescription Technology market is growing due to increased use of EHR solutions, government initiatives and incentive programs, increased focus on minimizing-controlled substance abuse, increased focus on eliminating medical errors, and the need to control skyrocketing healthcare costs. In addition, the COVID-19 may have a big impact on the Digital Prescription Technology market, the pandemic has increased the usage of telemedicine modules and telehealth consultations. This is propelling the adoption of e-prescribing technologies even further.

Although the COVID-19 pandemic will have no direct impact on the e-prescribing industry, its impact on the healthcare IT and EMR markets will boost demand for e-prescribing solutions during and after the worldwide pandemic. The number of teleconsultations has increased as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. Prescribers can leverage the integration of EHR, telemedicine, and e-prescribing functions to create an interconnected network that ensures the use of HCIT to diagnose and prescribe drugs for patients. In addition, the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions (CDC) recommendations to use telemedicine services, as well as the Drug Enforcement Administrations (DEA) requirements for electronic controlled substance prescriptions, have boosted the number of electronic prescription transactions.

Increased Adoption of EHR Solutions

The need to reduce spiraling healthcare costs and growing government backing for the use of EHR solutions are two important factors driving demand for such solutions. Furthermore, the global COVID-19 outbreak has resulted in a higher patient flow in hospitals, necessitating better patient data management. The demand for these solutions is projected to increase as a result of this.

High Cost of Deployment

Despite their advantages, end users are reticent to accept e-prescribing solutions, owing to the hefty prices. The costs include not just the one-time purchase of a system, but also recurring fees such as implementation services, maintenance and support services, e-prescribing interface with EHR/EMR integration, and, in some cases, training and education. Smaller hospitals and office-based physicians are unable to invest in e-prescribing technologies as a result, particularly in expanding APAC and Latin American countries.
