Globally, the population aged 60 or over is growing faster than all the younger age groups. The population who are aged 60 or above is growing at a rate of approximately 3% per year. Currently, Europe has the greatest percentage of the population aged 60 or over (nearly 25% of the overall geriatric population). And the rapid aging will occur in other parts of the world as well, by 2050, all regions of the world except Africa will have nearly a quarter or more of their populations at ages 60 and above. The global increase in the number of geriatrics will lead to greater incidences of chronic and life-threatening diseases and high volume of dispensing medications.

Pharmacy Automation devices such as simple tabletop counting devices can cost up to USD 15,000.00, and some devices that have automated workflow modules, with built‐in scan‐ verification software and based on the functionality they cost from USD 8,000.00 to USD100,000.00. The above factors may hinder the growth of Pharmacy Automation market in the forecast period
