The US pharmacy benefit management market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 7% during the period 2019–2025.
The trend of increased integration of pharmacy and medical benefits will fuel growth in the market. While in the past these benefits were siloed and organizations and employers designed benefit plans and pharmacy benefits with varying companies, there was a lack of information sharing leading to a disconnect in terms of the true cost of care and a lack of coordinated care. Plan sponsors are expected to veer gradually more toward such programs as they look to enhance patient experiences. Players such as Trellis Rx are in on this, working to comprehensively manage a patient’s care. This is expected to drive the favorability of PBMs and drive up the value of their offerings.
