TRENDS UNFOLD IN THE PHARMA LOGISTICS

Dear Pharma Forwarders,

As we grow in this industry keeping our objective from the very beginning as it is, we also need to adapt changes and trends in order to survive the competition. Here are some guidelines that may be relevant and helpful to your chain.

• This 2018, clients look forward to a more patient-centric approach to temperature-sensitive transportation as DNA and gene-based therapy are being customized to treat specific illness.
• Continuous movement in bulk freight from air to ocean shall be seen to reduce cost meanwhile air freight remains a first choice for time-sensitive shipments
• Demand for turnkey or bundled solutions to avoid upfront costs is more likely to arise
• Together with global warming, surge in demand for cold transportation may also be expected.
• Emerging primary concerns include Data Management and Cybersecurity, thus considering shipping with a GPS or any tracking device could be an edge among competition.

These are just few points that may be taken for consideration – this may not be enough but together with the Life Logistics network, may it be a guide to a greener pharmaceutical supply chain.
