The medicine vending machine is equipped with a phone, an internet connection, a prescription scanner, an in-built POS machine, and up to 2,000 packs of commonly used prescription drugs. The machine identifies drugs with the help of a microchip attached to the packs. The vending machine also allows patients to speak with a pharmacist via video link. The pharmacist checks the prescription and authorises the transaction, and then the patient can pay either by inserting cash into the machine or through a debit or credit card. Once the payment is confirmed, the medicine can be collected from the dropbox of the machine. For instance, PharmaTrust, a Canadian company, has developed vending machines and has installed them in the UK. Patients go up to the PharmaTrust kiosk, insert their prescription, scan their health card, then pick up the phone and talk personally to an on-call pharmacist. The pharmacist determines if the medication is appropriate and then authorises the transaction. Arizona State University and Florida State University installed pharmaceutical vending machines to dispense a wide range of drugs in their Student Health Services buildings.

The global pharmacies and drug stores market size will grow from $1,126.63 billion in 2022 to $1,205.81 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The global pharmacies and drug stores market size is expected to grow to $1,513.65 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 5.8%. The growing ageing population and increasing health consciousness among the global populace are likely to drive the pharmacy and drug store market. The geriatric population is more vulnerable to acquiring several diseases that increase their dependence on pharmacies and drug stores, thus indirectly affecting the market. According to the Global Health and Aging report, the number of people aged 65 or older is projected to grow to nearly 1.5 billion in 2050, with most of the increase in developing countries. Certain health conditions are expected to be a challenge to our health care system with the increasing ageing population. These conditions include cancer, dementia, an increase in the number of falls, obesity, and diabetes. Due to the increasing aging population, the number of cases is expected to increase, thus providing a growing customer base for pharmacies and drug stores. Rapidly increasing cost pressures from regulatory agencies and payers will restrain the pharmacies and drug stores market. Government budgetary pressures are leading to lower pharmacy compensation for most countries with public health care. The consolidation of pharmacy benefit management firms in the U.S. has worked similarly, driving lower costs and margins, and shifting prescription volumes to the delivery of direct or mail orders. Governments would be the largest healthcare payers in virtually every country. This, in turn, creates increased pressure on taxpayers and government spending, with consequent pharmaceutical effects. These factors are expected to have a negative impact on the pharmacies and drug stores market as they increase cost pressures from regulatory agencies and affect the market’s growth. Working long hours and drive-through locations are the major factors contributing to increasing the pharmacy and drugstore market growth. As competition has increased from mass merchandisers and supermarkets, as well as from direct mail prescription services, drug stores have been adding value in the form of 24-hour operations and drive-through pharmacies. The US Pharmacy Study measures customer satisfaction with their pharmacy experience across major chain drug stores, mass merchandisers, supermarkets, and mail-order pharmacies. The study shows that retail pharmacy businesses continue to shine when it comes to engaging patient-centric services that drive satisfaction. These convenience factors anticipate the growth of pharmacies and the drugstore market.

The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term.

With the rapid growth in retail data and the availability of technologies to analyze data, it will become easier for retailers to identify and meet the needs and expectations of their customers. This is expected to drive the market going forward. The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a massive restraint on the retail and wholesale markets in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and consumption declined due to lockdowns imposed by governments globally. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China, and has spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in a decline in the manufacture and trade of non-essential goods and an overall decline in economic activity with countries entering a state of "lock down" and the outbreak having a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the retail and wholesale markets will recover from the shock over the forecast period as it is a "black swan" event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy. The retail and e-commerce markets are increasingly investing in drones to reduce delivery times and increase profitability. A drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that is remotely controlled or flies autonomously using software-controlled flight plans in its systems. Using a drone for delivery allows retailers to cut costs and help provide customers with their products earlier than traditional delivery methods. For example, Amazon has been investing in its Prime Air deliveries via drones, which claim to complete the delivery within 30 minutes. Amazon has started delivery trials via drones in the UK but is still waiting for regulatory approval in the US.
