With both pharmaceutical and biological manufacturers globalizing their clinical trials, the demand for efficient packaging, storage and transportation services of clinical trial materials is expected to witness strong growth in the coming years.
Dwindling drug pipelines, increasing trends in clinical research outsourcing, rising commercial presence in global markets and an increasing preference of manufacturers to invest in biologicals compared to small molecule drugs are expected to be the key factors driving the market for cold chain clinical trials logistic services in the coming years. Research firm IMARC Group expects this market to reach revenues worth nearly USD 4 Billion by 2018, according to its latest report entitled “Global Healthcare Cold Chain Logistics Market Report & Forecast (2013-2018)”.
The report which has done a comprehensive analysis on the market for cold chain healthcare logistic services expects pharmaceutical and biological manufacturers to increase the globalization of their clinical trials in order to expand their markets. According to an analyst at IMARC Group, “In order to expand their revenues, global pharmaceutical and biotech companies are looking towards increasing their customer base from their core markets (US and Western European countries) to other regions around the world. In order to launch drugs in certain countries such as Japan, regulatory agencies make it mandatory for companies to conduct clinical trials in that country. This is expected to create a huge demand for efficient packaging, storage and transportation of clinical trials materials between different regions”.
