Furthermore, India's pharma market size is projected to reach $450 billion by 2047. As of June's report, the Indian pharma market delivered a healthy revenue growth of 8.8 per cent year-on-year.
As the logistics industry undergoes rapid transformation, driven by modern technologies and innovative solutions, the role of logistics in the pharma sector is becoming increasingly critical. This article explores the emerging trends, persistent challenges, and opportunities shaping the future of pharma logistics.
The growing importance of precision in logistics
Pharma logistics is a multi-layered ecosystem involving numerous stakeholders, including manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and end-users. Coordinating these stakeholders throughout the process-from preparing the shipment to final delivery-requires precise end-to-end operation. Any disruption can lead to significant financial losses and, more importantly, impact patient safety. A deep understanding of local and regional regulations, along with meticulous planning, is essential.
