Pharmaceutical cold chain logistics is a $10-billion global industry
Preliminary analysis of the logistics involved in shipping temperature-controlled pharmaceuticals, conducted annually by Pharmaceutical Commerce, shows that the business will cross the $10.1-billion barrier this year, on its way to $13 billion by 2019. Because comprehensive trade and logistics data often lags by a year, the study’s base year is 2013, and over the 2013–2019 span, the industry will grow from an estimated $9.0 billion in 2013 to $13 billion in the out-year.
