The global e-prescription market is expected to progress at a CAGR of 23.50% from 2013 to 2019. The market was valued at US$250.2 mn in 2013. It is expected to reach US$887.8 mn by the end of 2019, according to a research report released by Transparency Market Research, titled “E-Prescribing Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013 - 2019”.

E-prescribing or electronic prescribing is a process involving the electronic generation and sending of prescription orders for the convenience of medical practitioners or physicians, allowing them to transmit prescriptions directly from the point of care to a pharmacy. E-prescribing enhances the safety of patients and the quality of care, since there is no manual writing involved and thus there is less probability of prescription errors. In addition, e-prescribing also helps conduct security checks, encapsulate medical lists, and compile the complete historical data of a patient.

As per the report, the increasing initiatives taken by governments globally and the enhanced quality of healthcare are amongst the key factors boosting the e-prescribing market. In addition, the reduction in prescription errors will also drive the adoption of this technology, hence propelling the development of the market.

Furthermore, e-prescribing systems are being introduced with advanced features, stimulating the growth of the market. The integration of e-prescribing systems with electronic health records is a chief opportunity in the market. On the other hand, the soaring costs of e-prescribing systems and the risk of insufficient patient security and privacy are the factors that may inhibit the growth of the market. In addition, the absence of IT professionals and lack of high-speed broadband facilities within remote areas may also create a negative impact on the development of the market for e-prescribing.
