Do you own an online pharmacy that ships prescriptions to people? How about a retail store that sends over-the-counter meds to consumers? Are you the proud owner of one of them? If you answered yes to either question, that’s great to hear. More and more consumers are shopping online these days. They like the convenience that comes along with the experience.
For instance, there’s no need for people to visit a pharmacy in person when they go this route. As such, they don’t have to wear masks upon entering buildings or worry about COVID-19. Instead, individuals place orders from the comforts of their living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, or wherever. And they can do so in their pajamas if they like. So, if you haven’t already begun selling medicines online and shipping them directly to customers, perhaps the time to start is now.
The U.S. Online Pharmacy Outlook
According to Arizton Advisory and Intelligence, the U.S. online pharmacy market was valued at $52 billion in 2020. However, it could be worth much more than that come 2026. It is estimated that the industry will experience a growth rate of 19-percent between now and then. That equals out to around $146 billion when 2026 arrives. Hence, as you can see, there might not be a better time than now to begin offering this service. But, whether you currently sell and ship medications online or you plan to start shortly, you must do your part to protect shipments.
What do they need protection from? You’d likely get different answers here, depending on who you ask. However, today’s focus is on protecting against extreme heat and cold. When medicines are subjected to hot or cold temperatures for extended periods, they can become less potent. If that happens, the drugs won’t do anyone much good. But, then, there are also the possibilities that the colors, flavors, and smells of medicines could change too. Hence, you’ll want to avoid these issues at all costs, and insulated shipping boxes may help you do just that.
