CHICAGO, June 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The US pharmacy benefit management market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 7% during the period 2019–2025.

Key Highlights Offered in the Report:  

1. The expensiveness and lack of transparency in the current medical system in the US has driven up dependence on healthcare system and lead to costs spiraling out of control. This is driving demand for pharmacy benefit management (PBM) to help stem costs.
2. Plan sponsors are looking at supplemental benefits that can help to reduce medical cost burden and drive better outcomes beyond the regular pharmacy and medical benefits. Digital health solutions from PBMs are thereby in demand.
3. PBMs have been tangled in the bureaucracy. They are being criticized as contributing to the ineffectiveness, expensiveness, and bad service of the US healthcare system at the behest of pocketing profits.
4. PBMs are reinventing themselves and reinforcing the roles they play in the healthcare system by shifting from a siloed mindset to vertical integration by combining with specialty pharmacies and insurers.
5. The future of PBMs is going to be dictated by the implementation of state and national-level policies with respect to revenue streams and business practices in the pharmaceutical space.

Pharmacy Benefit Management Market in US: Segmentation

This research report includes a detailed segmentation by services, health plan, and business model.  Specialty pharmacy - a segment of the U.S. Pharmacy Benefit Management market, which is a collaborative, clinical, integrated environment, is recording significant growth in the US pharmacy benefit management market. The segment has cemented its place in the continuum of healthcare, backed by a healthy level of activity in payer access and data systems. As specialty drugs have outpaced all the other elements of healthcare costs, the segment is keeping payers on the edge of their seats. Since specialty pharmacies and mail-order pharmacies operate on a similar model in terms of medication deliveries. There are apprehensions about conflicts of interest and about how PBMs tag specific drugs as "specialty."

Drugs, which treat auto-immune conditions, are growing at the fastest rate in commercial health plans. With emerging therapies that come at a high cost, the per-member, per-month spending on these therapies has witnessed an upward trend over the past couple of years. The increased focus of commercial health plan providers is on monitoring use and keeping the cost of drugs in check. This has led to an increased focus on utilization monitoring and formulary design, driving better prospects for the segment.

Commercial plan sponsors are also looking to increase resources to help employees access behavioral and mental health services as they struggle with maintaining the usefulness of prescription management services. The enrollment in Medicare Part D plans has grown 2X times over the last 15 years. Seeing as Medicare is designed to absorb risk, providing for individuals with complex, expensive medical needs, along with relatively healthy individuals, these plans rely heavily on PBMs.

The Pharmacy benefit management market in US is well backed, fortifying future growth by ramping up the capital investment in data analytics capabilities and technology R&D. As employers continue to concentrate on whole-person health, providing a total benefits solution, which is vital to draw and keep talent, this segment is expected to grow.

As insurance companies launch new products for gene therapies, they are considering offering therapy management techniques. The key players in the market are keeping a tab on the gene therapy pipeline and tracing patient outcomes, which are being used as a starting point for value-based arrangements that the company is on with pharma manufacturers. This is drawing attention, particularly from employers, creating favorability for players with these business models. The pharmacy benefit management market in US is highly fragmented.
