The global ePrescribing market size is projected to reach USD 3.3 billion by 2025 from USD 1.2 billion in 2020, at a CAGR of 23.3%.

Major Growth Influencing Factors:

Factors such as the increasing adoption of EHR solutions, government initiatives and incentive programs, rising focus on reducing the abuse of controlled substances, increasing focus on reducing medical errors, and the need to curtail the escalating healthcare costs are driving the growth of the e-prescribing market.

Additionally, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the use of telemedicine modules and telehealth consultations. This is further driving the adoption of e-prescribing solutions.

COVID-19 Impact on ePrescribing Market

The COVID-19 pandemic will not directly impact the e-prescribing market; however, its impact on the healthcare IT and the EMR markets will drive the demand for e-prescribing solutions during and after the global pandemic. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the number of teleconsultations has increased. The integration of EHR, telemedicine, and e-prescribing functionalities aid prescribers in creating an interconnected network that ensures the use of HCIT to diagnose and prescribe medicines for patients. In addition, recommendations by the CDC to use telemedicine services and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regulations for the electronic prescription of controlled substances have increased the number of electronic prescription transactions.

The solutions accounted for the largest share of the ePrescribing market, by type of product & service, in 2019.

Based on product and service, the e-prescribing market is segmented into solutions and services. The solutions segment is further categorized as integrated and standalone solutions, and the services segment is categorized as network, support and maintenance, implementation, and training and education services. In 2019, the solutions segment accounted for the largest share of the e-prescribing market. The large share of the solutions segment can be attributed to the growing focus on minimizing the abuse of controlled substances, increasing adoption of e-prescribing, government initiatives and incentive programs to increase the adoption of e-prescribing solutions.

Web and Cloud based solutions is the largest segment of the ePresciribng market, by delivery mode

Based on the mode of delivery, the e-prescribing market is segmented into on-premise and web- and cloudbased models. In 2019, the web- and cloud-based solutions segment accounted for the largest share of the global e-prescribing market. This segment is also projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The web- and cloud-based model offers improved performance and reliability by avoiding long deployment cycles. It also minimizes upfront investments without incurring high infrastructure costs as the user can access the software from any compatible system using an access ID or username and password. These advantages are supporting the growth of the web- and cloud-based solutions segment.

North America will continue to dominate the ePrescribing market in 2025

In 2019, the large share of this North American region can be attributed to the stringent legislative and accreditation requirements regarding healthcare, high adoption of HCIT technologies, regulatory requirements regarding patient safety, and the presence of a large number of e-prescribing solution providers in the region.

Drivers: Increased adoption of EHR solutions

Growing government support for the adoption of EHR solutions and the need to curtail the escalating healthcare costs are the major factors driving the demand for such solutions. In addition, the COVID-19 outbreak worldwide has led to a larger patient volume in hospitals and the need to better manage patient data. This is expected to further drive the demand for these solutions.

Restraint: High cost of deployment

Despite their benefits, end users remain hesitant to adopt e-prescribing solutions mainly due to the high costs involved. The costs are not limited to the one-time purchase of a system, but also include recurrent expenses such as those incurred by implementation services, maintenance and support services, integration of e-prescribing with EHR/EMR, and, in some instances, training and education. This restricts smaller hospitals and office-based physicians from investing in e-prescribing solutions, especially in the emerging APAC and Latin American markets.

Opportunities: Increased adoption of integrated telehealth solutions due to COVID-19

Even before the onset of the global pandemic, players in the EHR market had started integrating the telehealth feature with their existing solutions, due to advantages offered by telehealth consultations such as increased patient engagement in remote monitoring and reduction in overhead costs. However, the adoption of this feature increased significantly during the COVID-19 crisis.
