Overview of This Study:
The study involved four major activities in estimating the size of the global ePrescribing Market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the utilization of different solutions and their regional utilization trends. Industry experts further validated the data obtained through secondary research through primary research.
Furthermore, the market size estimates and forecast provided in this study are derived through a mix of the bottom-up approach (country-level adoption of various EHR solutions and utilization of ePrescribing funcitonality) and top-down approach (assessment of utilization/adoption/penetration trends, by type of product& service, delivery mode, end user, and region). After that, market breakdown and data triangulation methods were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.
COVID-19 Impact on ePrescribing Market:
The COVID-19 pandemic will not directly impact the e-prescribing market; however, its impact on the healthcare IT and the EMR markets will drive the demand for e-prescribing solutions during and after the global pandemic. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the number of teleconsultations has increased. The integration of EHR, telemedicine, and e-prescribing functionalities aid prescribers in creating an interconnected network that ensures the use of HCIT to diagnose and prescribe medicines for patients.
In addition, recommendations by the CDC to use telemedicine services and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) regulations for the electronic prescription of controlled substances have increased the number of electronic prescription transactions.

ePrescribing Market Dynamics
Drivers: Increased adoption of EHR solutions
Growing government support for the adoption of EHR solutions and the need to curtail the escalating healthcare costs are the major factors driving the demand for such solutions. In addition, the COVID-19 outbreak worldwide has led to a larger patient volume in hospitals and the need to better manage patient data. This is expected to further drive the demand for these solutions.
Restraint: High cose of deployment
Despite their benefits, end users remain hesitant to adopt e-prescribing solutions mainly due to the high costs involved. The costs are not limited to the one-time purchase of a system, but also include recurrent expenses such as those incurred by implementation services, maintenance and support services, integration of e-prescribing with EHR/EMR, and, in some instances, training and education. This restricts smaller hospitals and office-based physicians from investing in e-prescribing solutions, especially in the emerging APAC and Latin American markets.
Recent Developments in the Global ePrescribing Market:
# In April 2020, DrFirst (US) partnered with ID.me (US) to help users of the company’s e-prescribe app to verify their identities within a few minutes. This is expected to speed up the process for clinicians to prescribe drugs.
