Increasing pressure for patient safety requirements and government regulations are expected to prompt health care providers to deploy advanced technologies to avoid medication errors in the near future. This is likely to boost the U.S. pharmacy repackaging systems market. Hospitals and pharmacists are facing significant challenges when it comes to maintaining an inventory. Traditional and manual methods used in hospitals and pharmacies make it difficult to track their inventory. Automated packaging systems, such as automatic tablet packager, automated vial filling pump, and compliance packaging systems along with automated dispensing systems, provide pharmacists and health care providers real-time access to their stock, which in turn, helps them to maintain adequate level of inventory. The global pharmacy repackaging systems market is expected to expand at a considerable pace in the near future due to several factors including technological advancements, such as barcoding, and the rising need for healthcare providers and pharmacists to get more time for patient care.

In terms of product type, the pharmacy repackaging systems market has been classified into blister card/compliance packaging systems, pouch packaging automation systems, bottle filling/ pill counting automation systems, liquid medication packaging systems, and others. Automated blister card/compliance packaging systems was the dominant segment and was valued at US $ 145.7 Mn in 2017. The segment is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period, owing to increasing awareness about benefits and advancements in technologies, which have prompted small and mid-sized hospitals to invest in affordable small-sized automated unit dose packaging systems. Single-dose blister packaging is the most dominant sub segment, as it helps reduce dose wastage and increase compliance.

Furthermore, medicines are pre-measured into precise doses to reduce the risk of a dose being measured incorrectly. Moreover, the patient is charged for only the medication that is actually required, thereby reducing the cost, as the patient is not charged for an entire bulk bottle. Pouch packaging automation systems offer multi-dose adherence/compliance packaging in which the tablets are packaged into easy to tear, clear pouches marked with patient information containing drug name, dosage, date, time, explanations, and clear instructions on mode of drug administration.
