E-Pharmacy market in India 2024-2028


Market Insights:

The e-pharmacy market is experiencing rapid growth, fuelled by the widespread availability of low-cost smartphones and 4G internet access. Major companies in the market comprise Pharmeasy, Medlife, 1mg, NetMeds, Tata Digital, and PharmEasy have strengthened their positions significantly. The collective growth of e-pharmacies contributes to the advancement of the healthcare ecosystem, aligning with government objectives of efficient and affordable health coverage.

Market Segment Insights:

In 2023, the chronic therapy segment dominated the market, accounting for 58.67% of the overall revenue. This segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. As acute therapy medications are experiencing increased demand due to their necessity in treating immediate conditions like infections or injuries, prompting higher turnover and usage compared to medications for chronic conditions. These platforms also offer value-added services like treatment plans. In the future, customers are likely to turn to e-pharmacies for managing acute ailments such as the common cold.

Market drivers:

E-pharmacy companies utilize customer buying patterns to optimize their inventories, leveraging analytics on regional sales data for real-time insights. Equipped with this information, e-pharmacy stores can refine their inventory supply chain processes. Many companies plan to collaborate with wholesalers/distributors to further enhance their supply chain efficiency. The accessibility of e-pharmacies in tier II and tier III cities has surged due to heightened internet and smartphone penetration, alongside increased awareness. Urban areas benefit from a strengthened logistics network, enhancing delivery efficiency. Collaborations with local stores have significantly contributed to improving supply chains in these regions. India is grappling with a growing burden of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), contributing to 60% of total deaths. Factors such as rapid urbanization, mechanization, and sedentary lifestyles, particularly among middle-aged groups, expose the population to early-onset NCDs.

Market Challenges:

Data security and patient confidentiality pose significant challenges for key players in the healthcare industry. Online transactions often lack adequate protection, with many websites failing to secure customer data. Additionally, post-purchase emails frequently contain unencrypted connections to customer data, highlighting the need for enhanced security measures to safeguard sensitive information. Offering appealing discounts is a primary tactic employed by online pharmacies to attract customers in the fiercely competitive market. Challenges include delays in delivery, pricing discrepancies, order manipulation, replacement issues, and delays or denials in refund processing. Inadequate responsiveness of customer service centres adversely affects the brand reputation.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
