Commenting on the report, an analyst said: “Health-related information is readily available on the Internet, and easy access to health information aids in self-medication. Likewise, e-commerce websites are turning out to be an effective way to reach out to target consumers. The driving factor behind this trend is the increased effort of manufacturers and retailers to shift to the online platform to achieve better visibility and offer convenience to customers.”

According to the report, the growing awareness about lifestyle diseases and the increasing use of online resources to access healthcare information have made people more aware of the predisposing factors of various diseases and the available treatments, thereby driving the market.

Further, the report states that the intense competition in the market, however, is a major challenge. In addition, policymakers often favor local manufacturers over large pharma vendors, affecting the market negatively.
