Pharma 4.0 Market Size to Hit USD 55.16 Billion by 2032, grow at a CAGR of 18.5%| Coherent Market Insights

Burlingame, CA, July 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global Pharma 4.0 Market size is expected to reach US$ 55.16 Bn by 2032 from US$ 16.81 Bn in 2025, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.5% during the forecast period. Pharma 4.0 is an emerging field that leverages innovative technologies to revolutionize the pharmaceutical industry. It primarily focuses on two product categories: smart medicines and digital therapeutics. Smart medicines are advanced drug formulations integrated with digital components such as sensors or microchips. These embedded technologies enable real-time monitoring of dosage intake and drug release, promoting better medication adherence and allowing for more personalized treatment plans. Despite their benefits, smart medicines come with higher production costs and face significant regulatory challenges that can slow down their approval and adoption.
