Healthcare Supply Chain Management Market Dynamics
Key Trend
The official work of healthcare providers & manufacturers is traditionally done on paper, and completed manually. The incorporation of automated software solutions is thus essential in dematerializing the paperwork. This has minimized the risk of man-made errors and has helped in overcoming the challenges such as efficient planning inside the hospital premises, inventory management, and other such day-to-day tasks.
Similarly, to bifurcate, manage and protect the huge amount of data put into the CRM by the pharmaceuticals and the research & development sector needs automation to save time for the industry professionals.
Drivers
Increasing adoption of the global standards 1 system (GS1), which is responsible for maintaining the barcode & radio frequency identification (RFID) standards for supply chain messaging, is a factor driving the market. The barcodes store the complete information about the product contained, which makes it simple to deliver a transparent supply chain service that is compliant with major distributors & retailers. Similarly, the unique device identification (UDI) system implemented by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), provides a unique barcode for marking medical packages, which in turn, is driving the market and improves the credibility of the supply chain.
Technological advancements such as mobile application-based and AI-based software solutions & analytics, and blockchain management offer user-friendly and cost-effective alternatives to improve the healthcare supply chain globally. This, in turn, drives the market.
Restraints
High installation and upgrade costs of supply chain management software is a major factor restraining the market, as organizations have to pay a separate cost to customize individual modules for particular enterprise resource planning ERP software.
Opportunities
Rising demand for cloud-based solutions in the healthcare supply chain, and rising number of key market players joining their forces to achieve a better stage to improve services are major opportunities in the market.
