Online pharmacy is an internet retailer platform that offers prescribed medicines, OTC medications, and dietary supplements. They offer better prices than offline shops, with easier availability, faster delivery, and greater customer confidentiality. Rising internet penetration, enhanced healthcare facilities, an increasing geriatric population, and rising awareness about e-commerce drive market growth. The market’s most prominent driver is the changing customer preference for online pharmaceutical platforms. 

Panic buying amidst the novel coronavirus outbreak is driving the e-pharmacy market. While most offline pharmacies and medical stores continue to function amidst the countrywide lockdown, many consumers have switched to buying medicines online due to the fear of getting affected by the virus, further driving market growth.
