North America to Remain Dominant Market
Electronic pharmacy or internet pharmacy, popularly known as ePharmacy, enables the online retailing of medicines. Given the convenience it accords on account of round-the-clock purchase and delivery, useful information on prescribed drugs, and transparency in prices, among others, its popularity is growing by the day. The ePharmacy market, however, is yet to reach its full potential, with framework on ethical practices and governing policies on treatment and safe delivery of prescription drugs, still not built properly.
On the basis of geography, the ePharmacy market is segmented into: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa (MEA), and Latin America. Healthcare delivery has evolved rapidly in North America in the past decade. North America currently leads the ePharmacy market owing to the high internet penetration and increasing number of takers for online prescription and delivery of medicines. The region is predicted to remain in a dominant position, in terms of revenue generation, in the forecast period. ePharmacy, on the flip side, has also led to substance abuse brought about by emergence of rogue online pharmacies. Taking cognizance of the situation, the authorities have implemented stringent regulations in the market. This has stifled market growth to some extent. The market for ePharmacies in North America was US$10.80 bn and it is expected to register a CAGR of 16.9% during the forecast period from 2015 to 2023 to reach US$44.93 bn in 2023. Europe, whose market is a bit wobbly currently, is expected to overtake North America by 2023, on account of better healthcare infrastructure and growing trend of online drugs ordering.

Increased Internet Penetration Leading to Increased Takers for Online Pharmacy
ePharmacies have been around for quite a while now in North America and Europe and are fast gaining traction in Asia Pacific too. Factors pushing growth in the ePharmacy market are increasing internet penetration both developed and developing economies, rising elderly population, and tech savvy consumers increasingly warming up to the idea of online shopping. “Purchase of prescription drugs through ePharmacies/online pharmacies would eliminate the excess cost incurred in the distribution of drugs from manufacturer to end consumer by eliminating the long distribution channel. Additionally, comprehensive information about the drugs at the consumer’s fingertips and round-the-clock delivery of drugs are some major reasons driving the shift toward the purchase of drugs through ePharmacies,” states the TMR analyst about growth drivers. He also states, “Deepening Internet penetration and easy availability of controlled prescription drugs such as stimulants, anxiolytics, narcotic painkillers, and sedative hypnotics through online retail platforms is indirectly resulting in increasing instances of substance abuse and has raised concerns for public health.” This, has resulted in stringent regulations in many regions, especially U.S., hampering market growth. Besides, the emergence of a large number of rogue pharmacies is also eroding consumers’ trust.
