Outsourcing of clinical trials is increasing due to the growing demand for efficient logistics and supply chain management, which includes temperature control management as well as cold chain management. There is an increase in the trend for Biopharmaceutical companies to spend on cold-chain logistics and this trend is anticipated to fuel the category by a significant amount. For instance, in 2022, Catalent announced plans to construct its Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone (FTZ) plant in Shanghai, China to increase capacity for the distribution and storage of clinical supplies under a temperature control environment. The USA-based Amerisource Bergen Corporation’s World Courier is one of the biggest and largest cold chain logistics in healthcare services in the world offering various services with specialties in drug storage and distribution, and biopharmaceutical clinical trials logistics.

Clinical Logistics Procurement Cost and Supplier Intelligence

Warehousing, transportation, inventory carrying, and administrative costs are the major cost components of clinical logistics services. This category’s logistics cost is around 20 – 30% more than the cost of other categories. Logistics cost itself accounts for more than 50% of its share and is the largest cost component above all. Cold storage continues to be the most crucial and important component of the whole supply chain in healthcare logistics, among all the other elements. India holds a capacity of 37 million metric tonnes of cold storage. In 2023, the Indian government pledged a net investment of INR 35,000 crore for the expansion of healthcare logistics.  India supplies over 50% of the world’s demand for different vaccinations, 40% of the demand for generic medications in the USA, and 25% of all medicines in the UK. With the surge in demand all over the world and concern over short supply due to supply chain disruption, the logistics cost rose by around 30% in some cases with an adverse effect of a 15% hike in warehousing of India’s clinical logistics.

Clinical logistics are primarily used by organizations to conduct clinical trials off-site or on-site. Category uses a fleet of logistics of their own or outsources logistics for protecting temperature-controlled products such as cold reefers, and refrigerated trucks.
