Market Overview

Biopharmaceutical third-party logistics (3PL) refers to logistics services provided by third-party organizations to pharmaceutical companies. Receiving small molecule pharmaceuticals into the warehouse, for instance, in addition to fulfilling orders and managing commodity inventory using a warehouse management system. Thus, 3PL assists pharmaceutical and medical institutions in maintaining logistics for the delivery of medical therapies by reducing unnecessary overhead costs, ensuring continuous product supply, optimizing transportation, and improving overall organizational efficiency. The pharmaceutical industry's rapid expansion is one of the primary reasons for the market's optimistic outlook. Additionally, the growing trend of medical organizations outsourcing logistics to improve their distribution network is driving market growth. Among other technological advances, warehouse robots, mobile cloud computing, real-time monitoring, and data mining technologies all contribute to economic growth. Logistics-related tasks can be automated with the help of these technologies, reducing the complexity of operations, human errors, and product damage in transit. In addition, temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products are managed and real-time shipment notifications are received via cold chain monitoring solutions based on Near Field Communication (NFC) and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Driving Factors

The introduction of novel biopharmaceutical products, such as cell and gene therapies, has increased demand for cold chain storage, transportation, and distribution solutions. The growing demand for efficient logistics solutions that can safely transport temperature-sensitive medications is expected to drive the growth of the biopharmaceutical third-party logistics (3PL) market. The introduction of a wide range of biologics and biosimilars, all of which require temperature-controlled logistics service to be distributed, is expected to be the driving force behind the growth of the biopharmaceutical third-party logistics market. The increased adoption of automation in manufacturing facilities to reduce operational costs is driving demand for third-party logistics services.

Restraining Factors

Vaccines, biologics, and other medications that are temperature sensitive and require temperature-controlled storage and transportation. Maintaining the required temperature range throughout the supply chain may be difficult, especially in areas with poor infrastructure or harsh weather. The need for specialized cold chain logistics complicates and increases the cost of third-party logistics providers' operations.

Market Segment

• In 2022, the non-cold chain segment accounted for the largest revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on the supply chain, the United States biopharmaceutical third-party logistics market is segmented into cold chain and non-cold chain. Among these, the non-cold chain segment has the largest revenue share over the forecast period. This is largely due to the majority of pharmaceutical drugs do not require temperature control and are shipped as general cargo. Furthermore, because temperature control solutions are expensive to implement and maintain, businesses are hesitant to adopt these practices, despite the growing demand for blood-related products and vaccines that require temperature-controlled environments for transportation. Furthermore, the widespread use of cold chain products in both developed and developing regions, as well as ongoing drug innovation, are fueling growth.

• In 2022, the warehousing & storage segment accounted for a significant revenue share over the forecast period.

Based on the service type, the United States biopharmaceutical third-party logistics market is segmented into transportation, warehousing & storage, and other services. Among these, the warehousing & storage segment accounted for a significant revenue share over the forecast period. This is due to the high demand for third-party warehouse and storage services in the United States. The country's demand for third-party warehouse and storage services is expected to rise further as drug development activities expand and regulations tighten.
