The global online pharmacy sector was estimated at 32 billion U.S. dollars by the end of 2023. In the United States, forecasts indicate that this figure would reach approximately 5.7 billion, solidifying its position as one of the largest online pharmacy markets.

With China at the forefront, it is no wonder digital pharmacies make up the fastest-growing segment in the Asian digital health market.
