INSIGHTS BY THERAPY AREA
In therapy area segmentation, the communicable diseases segment dominated the global pharmaceutical logistics market with a share of 19.96% owing to the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic that upsurged the communicable disease cases. According to the latest European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) report, tuberculosis remains one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases, second only to COVID-19, and drug-resistant TB strains are still a major concern that is made the communicable diseases dominant in the last few years. In 2019, communicable diseases ranked third with the highest number of cases, while the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic dominated the segment in 2021. The upsurge in COVID-19 cases contributed to the highest share of communicable diseases, leading to increased demand for OTC medicines and vaccines.
The oncology segment accounted for the second-largest segment in the pharmaceutical logistics market with a revenue share of 15.17%, owing to growing cancer prevalence and demand for anti-tumor agents. It is also expected to grow at the highest CAGR of 14.02%. The current pharmaceuticals pipeline is disproportionately focused on cancer.
The world is expecting more pandemics in the future, particularly with monkeypox spreading in more than 60 countries which are expected to drive the demand for new medications and more clinical trials, thus boosting the demand for logistics during clinical trials and distributing products.
INSIGHTS BY ORIGIN
Under origin segmentation, branded drugs accounted for the highest revenue share in the global pharmaceutical logistics market. This is mainly due to their high preference and the high cost of branded drugs, which makes up the high revenue share of pharmaceutical logistics for branded drugs. According to the Association for Accessible Medicines, US Generic & Biosimilar Medicines Savings Report and National Sales Perspectives, in December 2020, branded drugs spending was around 80% of the share from 2018-2020. However, the generic drugs segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR of 72.25% during the forecast period.
INSIGHTS BY PRODUCT
Under product segmentation, small molecule drugs dominate the global pharmaceutical logistics market with a revenue share of 63.02% in 2021 due to increasing demand and its cost-effectiveness, ease of administration, and easy dosing. The demand for small-molecule drugs remains high, with figures showing that 97% of marketed drugs are classified as small molecules. However, biologics lead among the top-selling products and new sales generators projected for 2022, whereas small molecules continue to lead in new drug approvals. According to US FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, of the 50 new molecular entities approved by the US FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research in 2021, 36 (72%) were small molecules, and 14(28%) were biologics.
INSIGHTS BY FUNCTION
As transportation is a crucial part of the logistics chain, thus it accounts for the highest revenue share of 71.66% in the pharmaceutical logistics market in 2021 and continues to grow with the highest CAGR of 8.20% during the forecast period. The demand for temperature-controlled transportation is also rising to maintain the quality of the products. Road transportation dominates the transportation segment with a revenue share of 66.38% in 2021, whereas the water and air transportation segments accounted for 21.21% and 12.41%, respectively, in the same year. The highest share of road transportation can be attributed to its low cost in terms of workforce and operation. In January 2021, more than 58% of US-Canada cross-border freight was moved by trucks, followed by rail with more than 16% of cross-border freight.
However, in 2020, European land transport declined because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Between April and August 2020, after decreased prices and falling demand, prices grew exponentially to the previous year’s level from October 2020, and the demand increased significantly. As the air rates are higher than water and road, thus the demand for logistics via air is lowest.
Air freight is 78% more expensive than ocean freight, leading the pack with 80% of all temperature excursions for pharmaceutical products transportation. In comparison, ocean transportation has a mere 1% temperature excursion rate, while road transport is a little higher, with 18% of all the excursions.
