How Medicine Delivery Apps Can Transform Healthcare

1. How Medicine Delivery Apps Can Transform Healthcare

3. In this blog, we chart the phenomenal rise of medicine delivery apps, how they are fast becoming a go-to solution in the modern healthcare landscape, and, if you're in the healthcare sector, how your business can benefit from a medicine delivery app development.  

4. What is a Medicine Delivery App? Medicine delivery apps are electronic replacements for brick-and-mortar pharmacies. They are a preferred means to shop for medicines online over an electronic gadget (which could be a phone or PC). There was a paradigm shift in consumer behavior when social distancing became the norm during the pandemic. People fretted over how they could fetch life-saving medicines even from the neighborhood pharmacy during the worldwide lockdown. The healthcare industry transformed the landscape with contactless delivery of medicines to customers through online pharmacy apps using evolving technology. People readily turned to these medicine ordering apps and have been hooked on them ever since.

5. A Peek into the Market of Online Medicine Delivery: Medicine ordering apps are all the rage today. Aggregators and pharmacists should capitalize on the on-demand economy in these changing times to grow their e-business exponentially while catering to public health. When the world is turning digital and remote shopping is becoming the order of the day, circumstances cannot be more opportune. Consider these statistics: • 14% share of the total revenue of e-pharmacies in the Asia Pacific Region in 2020 was attributed to the Indian e-pharmacy market, according to as cited by KPMG. (Source) • India's USD 344.78 million e-pharmacy markets are expected to make a robust growth of around 21.28% by 2027. (Source) • India's online pharmacy market alone has been estimated to reach $2.3 billion by 2023, as compared to $360 as of 2020.
