As hospitals crumble under the pressure of a raging Covid-19 pandemic, several Indians have started flocking to telemedicine and online pharmacies.
In April 2021, e-pharmacies such as PharmEasy and Netmeds clocked a 2X growth in daily active users (DAUs), according to market intelligence firm Kalagato’s analysis of millions of smartphone users. Practo, which offers video consultations and digital prescriptions, saw its DAUs increase nearly three-fold from under 2.5% to over 7%.
“In a sad and telling statistic about the nature of the pandemic in India, the rates of usage of pharmacy apps in India have on average nearly doubled and, in some cases, tripled,” Kalagato said. The recent trend is similar to last year when the pandemic had first hit India in March 2020.
