There can be a huge cut in costs with the utilization of electronic prescription or e-prescriptions, because these systems enhance the efficiency as well as quality of healthcare, along with promoting accurate drug utilization, presenting dispensers and providers with facts on drug coverage, with co-pay information and formulary alternatives. A majority of healthcare systems in emerging countries do not possess well-connected and integrated networks, which in turn affects their ability to utilize advanced features such as those offered by e-prescription systems effectively, hampering the market’s growth.

The global market for e-prescribing is experiencing substantial development due to a number of programs initiated by the government for the implementation of e-prescribing systems for reducing medication errors. The system of e-prescribing is utilized in numerous applications such as preparation of a complete medication list, patient and formulary historical data, and data security checks. All of these features related to e-prescribing act as drivers for the development of the market for e-prescribing. Enhanced healthcare infrastructure is also responsible for increasing the demand for e-prescribing systems. In addition, the implementation of electronic data storage in conjunction with e-prescribing systems holds enormous potential for the development of the market for e-prescribing. However, the soaring costs of e-prescribing systems and absence of patient security and privacy restrain the growth of the market for e-prescribing systems. To add to this, absence of high-speed broadband facilities and competent IT professionals in underdeveloped areas also impedes the growth of this market.

As per this TMR research report, the e-prescribing market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World (RoW). Europe constituted the biggest share in the global e-prescribing market.
