Market Dynamics

Driver: Growing demand for the biopharmaceutical drugs

The development of various life-saving drugs to treat chronic diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and respiratory diseases in biopharmaceuticals has boosted the growth of the biopharmaceutical industry. The rising awareness regarding biologics coupled with the surging prevalence of various non-communicable diseases among the global population is expected to drive the demand for biopharmaceutical third party logistic services during the forecast period.

Restraint: Low penetration of biopharmaceuticals in the underdeveloped countries

There is a lack of basic healthcare infrastructure in underdeveloped markets, where most of the patients remains untreated and undiagnosed. This results in the low demand for biopharmaceutical drugs and this indirectly hampers the growth of the market. Moreover, the lack of awareness regarding biologics amongst the rural population is a major reason behind the lower penetration of biopharmaceuticals.

Opportunity: Introduction of latest technologies

The proliferation of digital technologies has encouraged the adoption of various new technologies such as internet of things, warehouse robots, cloud systems, real-time monitoring, and location tracking. These technologies enhance the logistic operations and reduce the risks associated with human errors. These latest technologies are projected to offer numerous growth opportunities to the market players in the forthcoming future.
