Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.

Key Market Driver

The increase in the rate of technology adoption and proliferation of technologies are notably driving market growth. Innovations and technological advancements, such as RFID technology, barcodes, and advanced sensor markets, are anticipated to experience significant growth due to their simplicity, cost-effectiveness, high reusability, and durability. These advancements are expected to enhance product distribution, enable real-time tracking, ensure data security, improve supply chain visibility, and facilitate the adoption of cloud-based solutions. Additionally, these technologies address consumer safety concerns and require substantial investment in research and development (R&D). These advancements are expected to contribute to the overall market growth, especially with the emergence of new use cases.

Serialization is set to increase collaborations among all entities involved in the pharmaceutical supply chain. This trend is expected to escalate significantly as these advanced technologies become more widespread across the sector. Additionally, the proliferation of cloud-based supply chain capabilities and blockchain technology is poised to boost market growth, making the entire supply chain smarter and more efficient by offering end-to-end quality control solutions. Hence, such factors are driving the market during the forecast period.

Significant Market Trend

Data explosion due to the adoption of software across the pharma value chain is the primary trend in the market.  The pharma supply chain network is a huge and disjointed array of networked entities that are inherently different from one another in terms of technological capabilities. Information administration, sharing, and validation over the different levels of the supply chain network is a crucial outcome and requirement for the appropriation of ePedigree and serializability solutions across it. The infrastructural necessities for an ePedigree system involve the sharing and verification of information alongside its secure storage. 

Furthermore, the imminent execution of unit-level serialization in major pharma markets is expected to require colossal information stockpiling, calculation, and administration abilities. The scale is tremendous, considering the span of the pharma supply chain. Serialization requires information cooperation for the duration of the life cycle of a product. There will be an impending data explosion across the pharma value chain during the forecast period. Hence, such factors are driving the market during the forecast period.

Major Market Challenge

Huge time and cost requirements for infrastructural implementation is the major challenge impeding market growth. Implementing an ePedigree system starts with analyzing the immediate regulatory environment and the regulatory standards of the market wherein the buyer is expected to operate. Then, the organizational capabilities and requirements are analyzed. It is then followed by the customization of the solution offered by the companies to match the requirements so that compliance is achieved eventually. 

All these processes make the total implementation cost, which consists of both hardware and software systems, a giant cost burden on the buyer. To make the packaging lines ready for serialization, massive investments and a lengthy time frame (for implementation) are required. In addition, the software must be customized to diverse regulatory requirements and organizational settings. This further adds to the total cost of implementation. Hence, such factors are hindering the market during the forecast period.
