One of the biggest
challenge that pharmaceutical industries are facing is transportation of time
dependent and temperature sensitive drugs to various countries due to variation
in geographic conditions and lack of adequate infrastructure. Cold Chain
Logistics is the temperature controlled storage and distribution of
pharmaceutical products, blood plasma products, tissues and chemicals within
the country or across the globe to ensure a proper shelf life with the help of
compressor technology.
The preferable temperature range for
pharmaceutical products lies within 2 °Cto 8 °C. Various modes which can be
used as a cold chain logistics includes refrigerated trucks, reefer cars and
reefer ships containers.Most of the drugs used as dermatological therapies,
birth control pills, anti-depression drugs, neurostimulating drugs and others
are mostly heat sensitive by nature and may cause adverse reaction if consumed.

According WHO
the global pharmaceutical market is valued at USD 300 billion and is expected
to grow by USD 400 billion within 3 years. India, a leading player in global
healthcare industry earns around 60% of its pharmaceuticalrevenues through
exports which grew by 19% between 2008 and 2012.With such a high growth and
demand, healthcare logistics market is also likely to grow to meet the global
demand. Rise in biopharmaceuticals in the country with companies such as Biocon
and Serum Institute have also led to increased demand for cold chain logistics.
The major growth drivers for healthcare cold chain logistics includes the
growing demand for quality and cost effective drugs in developing and
underdeveloped countries, varying climatic conditions, feasibility to online
documentations related to export and import.
Changing
worldwide epidemiological profile of people is likely to increase demand for
cardiovascular, central nervous and other chronic disease drugs and demand for
generic drugs & vaccines will definitely boost the demand for healthcare
logistics in coming years. Whereas lack of funds and cold chain infrastructure
in underdeveloped & many developing countries are major restrains for the
healthcare cold chain logistics market.
