In India, the drug wholesale and distribution market is witnessing a sturdy growth as a number of critical drivers are operating that reflects the dynamic nature of the nation's healthcare industry. The Indian pharmaceutical market is today one of the world's largest and the wholesale and distribution sector. It is of vital importance as it ensures the timely delivery and distribution of medicines to patients across the country. One of the critical factors contributing to growth in this sector is the changing care infrastructure of India, that is, a strong desire to provide better and cheaper healthcare services.
Due to the increasing population and higher health awareness, there is a consequent increase in demand for pharmaceutical products which makes it necessary to improve on the distribution channels to fill the gap. In addition, the government programmes that are aimed at expanding health insurance coverage and improving access to essential drugs have further boosted the development of the pharmaceutical wholesale & distribution sector.
Additionally, the progressing digitalization in India has brought about a transformation in the pharmaceutical supply chain by enabling wholesalers and distributors to redesign their operations and make them more efficient. The adoption of advanced technologies including blockchain, artificial intelligence, and data analytics is helping transform the way inventory management, shipping tracking, and cross-shelf visibility is done in the supply chain network. In addition to that, the emergence of e-commerce sites and online pharmacies has transformed the distribution channel and allowed consumers to purchase multiple pharmaceutical products at the same place.
