In terms of region, Asia Pacific is expected to showcase highest CAGR in the global online pharmacy market over the forecast period.

The company aims to strengthen its digital business ecosystem through this investment. In a similar instance, PharmEasy, announced its merger with Medlife, to capitalize the growing online pharmacy market in the country.
