Market Insights

The global biopharmaceutical third-party logistics (3PL) market is poised for substantial growth, with a projected size of USD 198.5 billion by the year 2030. This expansion is expected to be driven by a steady Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6% from 2023 to 2030.

Several key factors contribute to this growth, including the increasing demand for temperature-controlled logistics services for the transportation of biologics in various regions and the expanding distribution networks of biopharmaceutical companies aimed at boosting sales. Moreover, the adoption of automated storage and retrieval systems in emerging economies is a prominent trend in the pharmaceutical logistics sector, garnering significant attention.

A noteworthy shift from small-molecule drugs to biopharmaceuticals, particularly vaccines and biologics, is expected to propel the market further. Given the temperature sensitivity of these small molecule drugs, there is an elevated need for temperature-controlled transportation and storage, thus driving market growth. Technological advancements play a pivotal role in this surge, with innovations such as mobile cloud solutions, warehouse robotics, and data mining reshaping the 3PL landscape. These advancements enable 3PL companies to maintain the necessary temperature conditions during product transportation, reducing complexities and human errors.

Real-time cold chain monitoring systems have also become integral in ensuring product integrity. For instance, Tridentify launched a system in May 2023 that continuously tracks the stability and remaining shelf life of cold chain products, offering real-time insights. This innovation promises to revolutionize operational monitoring for companies and stability budget management.

In addition, environmental concerns and cost considerations have prompted a shift in transport methods, moving from airway to seaway shipping and from truck to intermodal (both rail and truck) transportation. Intermodal transport, in particular, is favored by pharmaceutical companies as it helps reduce their carbon footprint. The trend indicates that pharmaceutical manufacturers are increasingly using sea freight for their products, even cold chain items. However, air freight remains the preferred choice for highly temperature-sensitive products.

Key Highlights of the Biopharmaceutical 3PL Market

  • Non-Cold Chain Logistics Dominate in 2022: In 2022, the non-cold chain logistics segment held the largest share of 79.7% in terms of revenue. This dominance is attributed to the sales of numerous drugs that do not require temperature control during transportation.
  • Cold Chain Logistics on a Growth Trajectory: The cold chain logistics segment is anticipated to register a remarkable CAGR of 8.8% over the forecast period. The demand for biologics, including cellular therapies, vaccines, and test kits, fuels the growth of this segment.
  • Warehousing and Storage at the Helm: In 2022, the warehousing and storage segment secured the largest share of 43.3%. The transportation segment also commanded a significant revenue share in 2022 due to the limited internal capabilities of companies.
  • North America Leads in Revenue Share: North America took the lead with the largest revenue share, surpassing 42% in 2022. The region's strong performance is driven by increasing imports and exports of biopharmaceuticals.
  • Asia Pacific Set for Rapid Growth: Asia Pacific is expected to exhibit the fastest CAGR of 7.4% over the forecast period. Factors contributing to this growth include the adoption of medicines by an aging population and the transition of drug sales from brand manufacturers to generic products.
  • Strategic Initiatives Boost Market Presence: Key players in the industry are actively pursuing strategic initiatives to bolster their market presence. For example, in February 2021, Kuehne+Nagel entered into a partnership with China's largest non-state-owned pharmaceutical distribution company, Jointown, aiming to enhance their footprint in healthcare and pharmaceutical logistics in China.
