Global Bio-pharmaceutical Logistics Market: Overview
Logistics is a key segment in the biopharmaceutical supply chain. In an organization, logistics management with the procurement, planning, and implementation of process activities in the forward and turn around transportation of goods from one spot on to the next. Biopharmaceutical Logistics is the logistics of biopharmaceutical, surgical and medical supplies, and other products needed to support health specialist, nurses, and dental care providers.
The rising number of biosimilar endorsements around the globe, developing trend of outsourcing logistics and development in pharmaceutical distribution network owing to its sales numbers are some of the factors that are inciting the growth of the biopharmaceutical logistics market. Nations around the world are tightening their guidelines and regulations to ensure secure and dependable transportation of pharmaceutical shipments. This has constrained key players to investigate novel technologies to pace up with international standards and guidelines. Such as, the European Union (EU) is focusing on strengthening good distribution practices (GDP) guidelines. Given the scenario, companies in the region revamping their technological and regulatory expertise. In line with these developments, investments in biopharmaceutical have extensively expanded, in this way giving the biopharmaceutical logistic market critical driving force in the forecasted period.
Growth Drivers
Strong biopharmaceutical sales coupled with rapidly growing biopharmaceutical industry
Biopharmaceuticals industry generates high revenue globally, making up about 20 percent of the pharma market.

Despite the growing scientific and regulatory challenges of the past decade, over 342 new medicines have been introduced since 2002. A large proportion of the global health gains seen over the past century can be attributed to innovative biopharmaceutical product logistic market globally.
Restraint
High cost of transportation
Alliance of factors and economic developments lies behind the rising transportation costs. The demand-supply imbalance of freight transport services and oil prices, is a repercussion of trade growth that has outpaced the availability of transport services to such an extent that it has led to serious issues of congestion and capacity constraint in the global biopharmaceutical logistics market. Companies have made significant improvements to manufacturing, service and maintenance operations through innovative techniques: eliminating waste, variability and inflexibility in their systems and reducing costs by up to 50% in the process. The operations of companies can save approximately 20-50% in warehousing and up to 40% in transportation.
Global Biopharmaceutical Logistics Market: Logistic Type analysis
Based on type, the global biopharmaceutical logistics market can be bifurcated into cold chain logistics and non-cold chain logistics. With an estimated share of nearly 80%, the non-cold chain logistics segment emerged dominant in the market in 2015. On account of the increasing use of biologics, the demand Cold chain logistics is expected to witness the significant growth over the forecast period. This is attributed to the rising demand for biologics over the past one decade that require temperature-controlled distribution. Moreover, growing demand for cellular therapies, vaccines and blood products are further driving the growth of biopharmaceutical logistics market.
Global Biopharmaceutical Logistics Market: Mode of Transportation
In terms of biopharmaceutical logistics transportation mode, the market has been segmented into sea shipping, air shipping, road shipping, and rail shipping. Air shipping is set to dominate the biopharmaceutical logistics market, in terms of revenue share. The extension of the air transportation segment is attributed to air ship cargo being the fastest way of shipping pharmaceutical products with product deterioration, which is particularly highly desired for transporting temperature-sensitive critical biologic drugs and vaccines. Despite, air shipping has a limitation of volume which can be transferred, and subsequently road shipping and sea shipping will outpace air shipping in volume enhancement during the forecast period.
Global Bio-pharmaceutical Logistics Market: Regional Insights
Based on region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. Amidst the geographies, North America is anticipated to dominate the enhancement of biopharmaceutical logistics market over the forecast period followed by Europe. This is attributed to the couple of factors such as large number of import and export of pharmaceuticals and North America is the first ones to introduce advanced technologies for the advancement of warehousing and transportation in the supply chain.
Asia Pacific is expected to witness the lucrative growth over the forecast period. This is attributed to the growing demand for medicines in the midst of aging population and growing number of diseases in the region is contributing to the rising demand for pharmaceuticals and biologics are further contributing into the growth of the market. Enhancement planned by the Government in introducing more cold storage facilities in India, is likely to boost biopharmaceutical logistic market growth in this region.
