Smart Pills Boxes and Bottles Market Analysis
The Smart Pills Boxes And Bottles Market size is estimated at USD 181.13 million in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 267.20 million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 8.09% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the smart pills boxes and bottles market. Gaps in the global supply chain, like an impact on the sourcing, acquisition, and distribution of pharmaceutical products, APIs, medical supplies, and equipment were substantial. Traditional methods of interacting with clinicians and supporting patients were no longer viable during the initial phase of the pandemic, which resulted in pharmaceutical companies facing potentially catastrophic barriers, such as lower sales, during this time of crisis. In addition, during the initial phase of the pandemic, telemedicine gained prominence. For instance, according to the research article published by the Department of Radiology at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), in May 2020, its therapy operations, initial consultations, and all follow-up consultations were shifted to telemedicine. This was done to minimize the direct contact between patients and doctors, thus controlling the spread of the coronavirus. Thus, the market witnessed slow growth during the initial days of the pandemic. However, in the later times of the pandemic, with the ease of restrictions and upliftments of the lockdown the market started to gain traction and is expected to continue the upward trend over the forecast period.
The growing burden of chronic disorders and the aging population, as well as technological advancements, are the major factors driving market growth. The diverse range of diseases, primarily cardiovascular disease, infectious diseases, diabetes, and kidney-related complications, has a high prevalence globally. For instance, according to the estimates of the Global Cancer Observatory, in 2020, there were an estimated 458 thousand new cancer cases diagnosed and 180 thousand cancer deaths in the United Kingdom. Currently, smart pills are widely used for the treatment of cancer; therefore, increasing cases of cancer are anticipated to propel the demand for smart pills, which in turn may positively impact the market over the forecast period.
Furthermore, increasing cases of cardiovascular diseases across the globe are also propelling market growth over the forecast period. For instance, according to the British Heart Foundation's report titled "UK Factsheet," published in July 2021, there were 7.6 million people in the United Kingdom living with heart and circulatory diseases. Similarly, according to the article published by the CDC in September 2021, heart disease is one of the leading chronic diseases in the United States. The same source also reported that every year, about 805,000 Americans have a heart attack. Moreover, product launches are another factor driving market growth. For instance, in November 2020, Pill Connect, formerly known as Elucid mHealth, received GBP 510,000 (USD 619290.45) in funding from serial entrepreneur Jonathan Milner, Catapult Ventures, and Shallcross Partners for the commercial launch of its electronic smart pill bottle in the United States and Europe. Therefore, owing to such instances, considerable market growth is anticipated over the forecast period.
However, high-cost issues may hinder the market growth over the forecast period.

Long-term Care Centers Segment is Expected to Witness Considerable Growth Over the Forecast Period
Long-term care facilities are healthcare centers that provide a variety of services, including both medical and personal care, to people who are unable to live independently and for geriatric patients. People frequently need long-term care when they have a severe, continuing health ailment or disability. The necessity for long-term care can arise suddenly, such as after a heart attack or stroke.
The growing prevalence of chronic diseases, coupled with the increasing geriatric population globally, is the major factor driving the segment's growth over the forecast period. For instance, as per the World Population Ageing Report, in the United States, the number of people above 65 years of age is projected to reach 70.84 million by 2030 from 53.34 million in 2021, and the 65-and-older age group's share in the total population may rise from 16.2% in 2021 to 20.3% by 2030, showing a positive impact on the market. The older population is often susceptible to osteoarthritis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, depression, and dementia. For instance, according to the data published by the Alzheimer's Association in 2021, around 5.8 million people aged 65 years and older suffered from Alzheimer's disease in the United States in 2021, and this number is expected to reach around 13.8 million in 2050. Smart pills eliminate the need for invasive procedures, and wireless communication allows for real-time information transfer, while advances in batteries and onboard memories make them useful for long-term sensing from the body. Thus, smart pills for long-term care play an integral part in remote patient monitoring. Since long-term care centers are widely used for treating such conditions, increasing cases of Alzheimer's dementia are anticipated to propel segment growth over the forecast period. Furthermore, market players focusing on developing technologically advanced smart pill boxes are also driving the market globally. For instance, AdhereTech is a startup specially involved in developing smart wireless pill bottles for senior assisted living and long-term care centers.
Therefore, owing to the abovementioned factors, considerable segment growth is anticipated over the forecast period.
North America is Expected to Witness Significant Growth Over the Forecast Period
North America is expected to dominate the overall smart pills boxes and bottles market over the forecast period. The growth is due to factors such as the rising prevalence of various chronic conditions, the rising geriatric population, and technological advancements. The United States has witnessed a considerable rise in the number of cancer patients. For instance, according to the estimates of the American Cancer Society, in 2021, there were an estimated 1.89 million new cancer cases diagnosed and 608 thousnd cancer deaths in the United States. Since smart pills are widely used for the treatment of cancer, increasing cases of cancer in the region are anticipated to propel market growth in the North American region.
Key product launches, a high concentration of market players or manufacturers' presence, acquisitions and partnerships among major players, and increasing cases of chronic diseases in the United States are some of the factors driving the growth of the smart pill boxes and bottle market in the country. For instance, as per the 2021 data from the CDC, every year, 805 thousand people in the United States have a heart attack; 605 thousand of these result in a first-time heart attack, while 200,thousand are caused by previous heart attacks. Similarly, as stated by the American Heart Association 2021 journal, it is estimated that by the year 2035, more than 130.0 million adults in the United States will have some type of heart disease. With this increasing burden of heart disease in the country, demand for smart pills is on the rise, which in turn is propelling market growth in the country.
Therefore, owing to the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases in the region, the demand for smart pills and smart pills boxes and bottles is anticipated to increase, which in turn may spur market growth in the North America Region.
