Value Added by e-Pharmacy to the Healthcare System in India: E-Pharmacy improves consumer convenience and access. This will most importantly benefit chronic elderly patients living in nuclear families, and patients who are not in a condition to go out to find a pharmacy. E-Pharmacy also offers competitive pricing which thereby enables less affluent people to afford medicines. There are a lot of technology advancements that are coming up in the form of applications which help in bringing price transparency, create awareness, find an appropriate healthcare service provider, medicine reminders and other alerts to the consumers.

E-Diagnostics Revenue Stream is Expected to be a Significant Contributor: Many e-pharmacy players in India are trying to integrate other healthcare services such as diagnostics, doctor consultations, doctor appointments etc. on their platforms to widen their service portfolio. E-Pharmacy players have tie-up with laboratories and offer online booking of diagnostic tests, health packages and home collection of pathology samples. Few players such as Medlife have started their own laboratories offering diagnostic services for patients on their e-pharmacy platform. Diagnostic is one of the fastest growing sectors in healthcare industry. With e-pharmacy players offering diagnostic services and opening their own diagnostic laboratories, e-diagnostics revenue stream is expected to be a significant contributor for e-pharmacy players.

Unclear Regulations on E-Pharmacies Might Hinder Future Investments: E-pharmacies in India seem to be on a roller-coaster ride. While the sector is witnessing a soaring customer base, the lack of clear regulations by the government is causing anxiety among the stakeholders. On the business front, the e-pharmacy sector is expected to grow at an exponential CAGR of 63.0% in the next 2-3 years and has currently ~30,000 skilled professionals employed in the space. The access that the e-pharmacy model is providing is something that the consumer buys and is really appreciative of. People are appreciating a better model of access, and the growth has also reached tier-II, III, IV cities. It is expected that the industry will receive defined and structured guidelines from the government which will further help the industry to innovate its offering for its consumers.
