Segmental Insights

By product,

The robotic compounding systems segment led with a 55% share of the automated pharmacy compounding systems market in 2024. Robotic compounding systems dominate the advanced pharmacy automation landscape, driven by their ability to deliver high-precision sterile preparations with minimal human intervention. Their adoption is growing in large hospital pharmacies and compounding centres where high throughput, safety, and standardisation are critical.

The automated liquid compounding systems segment is expected to be the fastest-growing at an 8.5% CAGR in the studied years. Automated liquid compounding systems are gaining traction as pharmacies increasingly prioritise workflow efficiency and consistency in liquid medication preparation. They are especially beneficial for pediatric, oncology, and TPN formulations where accurate liquid dosing is essential. Their simpler operational model also makes them more accessible for mid-sized pharmacy settings.

By technology,

The robotics-based systems segment held 60% revenue share of the market in 2024. Robotic-based systems represent the most technologically advanced segment, offering end-to-end automation with robotic arms, barcode-guided verification, and closed-system sterility protection. These systems are preferred in high-volume hospital compounding units due to their unmatched precision, reproducibility, and ability to handle hazardous drugs safely. Growing emphasis on staff safety and increased complexity of personalised medication are driving strong adoption of fully robotic technologies.

The semi-automated systems segment is expected to grow rapidly at an 8.0% CAGR during 2025-2034. Semi-automated systems remain relevant for facilities seeking improved accuracy and reduced workload without the high investment required for full robotic solutions. These systems combine automated dispensing or mixing capabilities with human oversight, making them suitable for smaller hospitals and outpatient pharmacies. Their flexibility and lower capital cost support steady demand, especially in emerging healthcare markets transitioning from manual compounding.

By end user,

oncology hospitals are particularly strong adopters

The retail pharmacies segment is expected to grow at a rapid CAGR of 8.5% in the predicted timeframe. Retail pharmacies are gradually adopting automated compounding technologies as personalised medicine, speciality drug dispensing, and customised formulations gain prominence. While adoption is still lower compared to hospitals, retail chains and speciality pharmacies are investing in semi-automated and select robotic systems to increase service differentiation, reduce turnaround time, and ensure consistent quality. Growth in chronic therapy programs and home infusion services further supports demand from this segment.
