Bio-Pharma Logistics Market Analysis
The size of the Bio-Pharma Logistics Market is USD 82.3 billion in the current year and is anticipated to register a CAGR of over 7.5% during the forecast period.
- With the COVID-19 pandemic, the conventional and over-the-counter (OTC) drug trade increased globally. The expansion in demand for cellular therapies, vaccines, and blood products in the biopharmaceutical industry is driving the growth of the biopharmaceutical logistics market worldwide. Extending cold chain logistics via air transportation is the fastest shipping of pharmaceutical products with negligible product damage. It is highly desired for transporting temperature-sensitive biologic drugs and vaccines.
- With overall revenue growth of roughly 16% in the first quarter of 2022, the biopharma industry continued its thorough recovery from the pandemic. Twelve of the industry's top 23 companies achieved double-digit growth, with the top five all fueled by huge sales of COVID-19 products, each exceeding a 50% revenue increase compared with the first quarter of 2021.
- Improved real-time visibility during all handling, transportation, and delivery segments keeps costs low and reliability high while helping time- and temperature-sensitive biopharmaceuticals to go the distance without incident. Many specialized third-party logistics (3PL) providers in the pharma cold chain can track and transmit data using next-generation solutions, smart-label technology, and other monitoring advances. The data is related to temperature and time, exposure to light, pressure, vibration, humidity, tilt, and the number and duration of every open-door event, and transmit the data via cloud-based platforms. Today, such monitoring systems can be applied to cargo containers, individual pallets, and even individual product packages whenever necessary. Modeling based on real-time and historical data is helping companies to both map out more effective delivery routes and to pivot rapidly when disruptions do arise.
- To meet the demand, UPS Healthcare mapped roughly 500 new trade lanes worldwide in 2021 and scaled dry ice production, using more than 3 million pounds to help safely move the vaccines in 2021.
Bio-Pharma Logistics Market Trends
Temperature-sensitive Pharmaceutical Drugs Sales Driving the Cold Chain Logistics
Worldwide, spending on biopharma cold chain logistics is rising steadily with the increase in sales of temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical drugs. The rising investments in the expansion of the biopharmaceutical industry and the government support for the industry are fuelling the demand. Several medicines are temperature sensitive and need special attention during transportation. Moreover, developing mobile applications that can notify temperature excursions and allow monitoring of the temperature in real time is fuelling growth.
With the launch of its Los Angeles hub, Tower Cold Chain confirms it is on track to double the size of its global network during 2022. Each new hub helps pharmaceutical businesses and airlines access Tower's robust, reliable, and reusable temperature-controlled containers. The latest hub, located 18 miles from LAX International Airport, gives Tower its first location on the West Coast of America, a key region in terms of access across the Pacific and into South America.
According to data from the Medical Logistics Branch of the China Federation of Things, the cold vaccine chain market was about CNY 48.14 billion (USD 7 billion) in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 23.3%. In recent years, the country invested a lot of resources to strengthen the construction of cold vaccine chains and traceability systems nationwide.
As the third-largest pharmaceutical industry, India serves more than half the global demand for pharmaceuticals and vaccines, around 40% of calls for generic medicines in the US, and one-fourth of the total demand for drugs in the UK. The industry is predicted to add an extra 1.5 to 2 lakh pallet capacity for frozen and chilled commodities in the coming years. Although the Indian government permitted 100% FDI in pharma, the parched cold chain sector needs a boost in infrastructure to support the rampant industry growth.
Increase in Sales of Biotech Drugs Driving the Market
Recently, many pharmaceutical industries adopted biotech because of the low cost of biotech products. After the COVID-19 outbreak, infectious diseases are driving the biotech/pharma market, especially the biotech sector. Companies are focused on new drug development so they can be prepared for any unexpected outbreak.
The drug and biotech sector bounced back in the second half of 2022 from a rather weak performance in the first half. An uptick in M&A deals, strong earnings performance, new drug approvals, a favorable regulatory environment, and pipeline successes helped the second-half turnaround. Drug/biotech companies are also likely to see significant advances in innovation in 2023.
India is among the top 12 destinations for biotechnology worldwide. The number of biotech startup registrations surged nationwide in 2021, with around 1,128 new startups registered, the highest in a single year since 2015. Estimates put the total number of biotechnology startups at 5,365 as of 2021. The number of startups is expected to touch 10,000 by 2024. India includes 665 FDA-approved plants in the US, 44% of the global abbreviated new drug applications (ANDA), and more than 1,400 manufacturing plants, which comply with WHO's requirements. The country is also the world's third-largest producer of recombinant Hepatitis B vaccine.
Expanding generic drug competition and declining demand for COVID-19 vaccines and therapies reduced the aggregate market capitalization of the top 20 biopharmaceutical companies by 9.1%. According to an industry report, the total value was USD 3.45 trillion in Q2 2022, dropping to USD 3.14 trillion in Q3 2022.
Bio-Pharma Logistics Industry Overview
The market is highly competitive, with many companies striving to offer services, like cloud-based supply chain solutions and a secured supply chain function, in the sector. The market is expected to grow during the forecast period due to increased demand for temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical drugs, growing bio-pharma in Asia-Pacific, and many other factors driving the market. In addition, the big players are undergoing consolidation that may help them accept modern technologies from small or regional players and expand their global presence. Some major industry players are Deutsche Post DHL, Kuehne + Nagel, DB Schenker FedEx, UPS (Marken), Agility, DSV, and others.
