Biopharmaceutical Third Party Logistics Market: Current Analysis and Forecast (2021-2027)

Report Description

The biopharmaceutical third-party logistics market is predicted to grow at a CAGR of ~5.6% between 2021 and 2027. This growth is mainly attributed to the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases coupled with the rising need for the availability of advanced treatment and medications for these diseases. Furthermore, rising healthcare spending by private and government institutions for the development of new and advanced temperature monitoring technologies is another factor that boosts the market growth. Apps have been introduced to monitor the temperature of certain temperature-sensitive medicines that can be operated through a smartphone. For instance, Onset’s InTemp CX400 mobile application is a pharmaceutical cold chain monitoring app that allows the user to monitor the temperature and it sends notifications to the user regarding the excursions of temperature. The development and deployment of such technologies ensure the safety of the medicines and boosts the demand for third-party logistics services across the pharmaceutical industry. The adoption of third-party logistic services has significantly helped biopharmaceutical companies to reduce their overhead expenses and hence the adoption of third-party logistics services has increased during the forecast period.

Agility, AmerisourceBergen Corporation, DB Schenker, Deutsche Post AG, FedEx, Kerry Logistics Network Limited, Kuehne + Nagel, McKesson Corporation, SF Express Co. Ltd., United Parcel Service of America, Inc. are some of the prominent players operating in the API market. Several M&As along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to facilitate customers with hi-tech and innovative products/technologies.

Insights Presented in the Report

“Amongst service type, warehousing & storage to witness higher incremental gain during the forecast period”

Based on service type, the market is bifurcated into warehousing & storage, transportation, and others. Among these, in 2020, warehousing & storage held the higher share in the market. The presence of a well-established infrastructure for chemical-based drug manufacturing and increasing demand for synthetic 3PL due to rising chronic diseases results in the category’s higher share. However, pharmaceutical companies pay a lot of attention to packaging quality, in terms of purity, uniformity, shelf life, integrity, and packaging standard of their products. For instance, Expeditors, a service-based provider of value-added services ranging from simple to complex, offers a range of logistics delivery models that enhance customer services while mitigating transportation and inventory costs. This is thus expected to boost the market over the forecast period attributes to the growth of the category in the foreseeable future.

“Amongst supply chain, non-cold chain category held a significant share in 2020”

Based on the supply chain, the market is categorized into service type, supply chain, and region. Among the two, the non-cold chain is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. This is mainly due to an increase in pharmaceutical sales through distributors. 3PL services provide greater scalability, and higher visibility reduces overall operating costs and helps develop a stronger logistics network with higher returns and lower risks. Moreover, advancements in data loggers, such as the capability to measure vibration, humidity, temperature, and shock are anticipated to drive the market during the forecast period.
