Poor Transport Networking and High Operational Cost is Impacting Market Expansion

Poor transportation network of supply chain and increasing operational costs are hindering market growth, potentially lowering service quality, and leading to a loss of control when outsourcing. In order to offer excellent service, small companies struggle to maintain timely and efficient delivery due to the need for sufficient infrastructure and well-equipped facilities, resulting in impacting market expansion.  In contrast to conventional logistics, preserving the quality of temperature-sensitive goods over long distances requires investments in temperature-controlled storage, refrigerated vehicles, and real-time tracking technology with data loggers.

Furthermore, the growing competition to remain at the forefront is driven by technological advancements in delivery systems, leading to ongoing investment in new innovative technologies and substantial financial commitments. Moreover, the proper management of pharmaceutical medications and vaccines necessitates trained individuals with advanced expertise, leading to companies investing funds in offering advanced training through logistics companies.

Advancement in Supply Chain Management with Technology Integration Led to Market Expansion

The increasing investment of companies in technologies such as telematics, remote sensing, GPS and GIS integration in transportation to meet the highest flexibility standards of pharmaceutical and medical shipments is increasing market growth. For safe delivering and top-grade pharmaceutical transportation services over long distances between continents, air freight logistics are mostly preferred, several pharmaceutical companies have established their distribution centers in specific locations to take advantage of geographical and tax benefits in order to meet the complex and varied requirements. For instance, in December 2023, Nippon Express B.V. obtained the CEIV Pharma certificate from IATA for their warehouse at Schipol Trade Park near Amsterdam Airport, showing their adherence to global standards for pharmaceutical transportation by providing high-quality service and efficient connectivity.

Furthermore, the adoption of telematics with specialized operational teams, and advanced customer service in cold-chain healthcare logistics is increasing due to growing demand for temperature-controlled storage of vaccines and other ambient products, pharmaceutical logistics, and enhancing efficiency, connectivity, and safety in cargo transportation. For instance, Turkish Cargo introduced 3 pharmaceutical products named TK Pharma Standard, Extra, and Advanced in January 2024, these products ensure safe temperature-sensitive shipment by meeting industry standards with expert care by offering zero temperature risk by using temperature-controlled containers at a fixed range of -70°C to +30°C and temperature controlled dollies during apron handling and providing customer with convenient and safe pharmaceutical logistics services and increasing reliability between the customer and increasing market growth opportunities.
