The origins of the cold chain for transportation of temperature sensitive products can be traced back to 1797, when British fishermen first used natural ice to preserve their fish stock. Presently, a wide variety of pharmaceutical products, such as biologics, vaccines, human organs for transplantation and certain conventional pharmacological interventions as well, are temperature sensitive and require freezing / cryogenic holding temperatures for transport. In fact, over 95% of all approved biologics and 90% of all vaccines are cold chain dependent. Other healthcare products which are required to be shipped/stored under specific temperature conditions include aerosols, blood plasma samples, certain types of diagnostics kits, fertility samples, and laboratory specimens. For some products, even the slightest variations in temperature/storage conditions can adversely alter their integrity and/or viability.

Over the years, the growing demand for such products has necessitated the need for well-defined infrastructure and protocols to support cold chain dependent logistics operations. Further, stakeholders in this segment of the industry have designed and established a variety of innovative solutions to serve the evolving demands of the healthcare sector. Moreover, connected cold chain solutions have been observed to offer a variety of advantages over conventional methodologies, such as automation of most of the steps and elimination of human handling errors that are associated with human intervention.

In addition, the industry has witnessed several facility/capability expansions and acquisitions owing to an increasing demand for cold chain logistics services, which is indicative of the growing interest of stakeholders in this particular type of supply chain. Given the recent technological breakthroughs and advances, and the steadily rising demand for biopharmaceuticals, the reliance on cold chain is expected to increase substantially, causing logistics service providers to contemplate, devise and implement flexible business strategies and operational models to cope up with the future needs.

The ‘Cold Chain Logistics Market for Healthcare: Focus on Cell Therapies, Vaccines, and Human Organs, 2018-2030’ report features an extensive study of the current landscape and future outlook of the growing cold chain logistics services market. The study features an in-depth analysis, highlighting the capabilities of the various service providers engaged in this domain. Amongst other elements, the report features:


  • An analysis comparing the logistical complexities associated with cell therapies, vaccines and human organs, based on several parameters, such as holding temperatures, delivery time restrictions, handling/transportation requirements, and storage related needs.
  • A detailed assessment of the overall market landscape, featuring a comprehensive list of over 80 players that offer cold chain logistics services for cell therapies, vaccines and human organs, and detailed analyses based on a number of parameters, such as the location of headquarters, size of employee base, type of products (cell therapies, vaccines, human organs, pharmaceutical products, and others), type of services offered (storage, packaging, and transportation), mode of transportation (ground, air, and ocean), holding temperature range (ambient, refrigerated, frozen, and deep frozen / cryogenic), type of packaging methods (dry ice, liquid nitrogen, and gel packs), type of container (active and passive containers), type of end-users (industry players and non-industry players), geographical activity and location of cold chain facilities.

Examples of players engaged in this domain include (in alphabetical order, no selection criteria) Air Liquide Company, American Airlines Cargo, Cryoport, DHL Express, PAREXEL, and United Parcel Service.
  • The market is characterized by the presence of several established as well as emerging players. Of the total, 43% are large companies (more than 1,000 employees), 16% are mid-sized companies (201-1,000 employees), while 41% are small-sized players (less than 200 employees). Examples of some of the established players (with more than 25 years of experience in the industry) include (in alphabetical order, no selection criteria) Bollore Logistics, Cardinal Health, DHL International, FedEx Express, GAC, Kuehne and Nagel International, Yusen Logistics, and Zuellig Pharma. On the other hand, some of the players that have recently entered this domain include (in alphabetical order, no selection criteria) Accelogix, Arcticold Logistics, Biotech & Pharma Logistics, Camio Logistics Solutions and Cold Box Express.
  • Over 40% of all drugs (small molecules and biologics) that have been approved so far in 2018 are cold chain dependent, having different holding temperature requirements for transportation. Particularly, within biologics, all the approved monoclonal antibodies and cell therapies are cold chain dependent. Examples of recently approved biologics that are cold chain dependent include LUXTURNA®,KYMRIAH® and YESCARTA®.
  • Specifically, for cell therapies, the current global commercial demand for cold chain logistics services is primarily driven by autologous therapies, which account for 83% of the currently approved cell therapies. However, in future (by 2030), as more of such therapy products are approved, the demand for cold chain logistics services is likely to increase significantly. In terms of clinical scale requirements, the demand for cell therapies is driven by over 1,000 active clinical trials, with 1,19,000+ enrolled patients, focused on evaluating different types of cell therapies in multiple centers / hospitals / institutions across the globe.
  • For vaccines, the current clinical demand is based on the requirement of these products in close to 1,300 trials that have been registered (ongoing / planned) across different geographies. Based on the number of trials, North America (~750 trials) has emerged as a major research / innovation hub in this domain; it is also worth highlighting that about 74% of the total number of patients enrolled in the aforementioned trials have been recruited in centers in Asia-Pacific and rest of the world.
  • Specifically, for human organs, around 140,000 organ transplants take place annually across the globe. Presently, kidneys are the most common type of human organ being transplanted (65%), followed by liver (23%). However,  lung transplants are likely to witness the maximum CAGR (~ 7%) between 2018 and 2030.
  • A growing number of partnerships have been forged between logistics service providers and developer companies and / or other logistics service providers during the period 2014-H1 2018. It is worth mentioning that most of these partnerships were service alliances (36%). logistics service agreements (27%) are the next most popular partnerships, through which developer companies have recruited the services of logistics services providers. This is followed by mergers / acquisitions accounting for 24% of the total number of deals. Prominent logistics service providers that have entered into multiple partnerships in the given time period, include (in alphabetical order) Cryoport, Brooks Life Sciences, CSafe Global, TrakCel and Tower Cold Chain Solutions.
  • Amidst increasing competition in this domain, logistics service providers are actively investigating and adopting several innovative tools / techniques in order to expedite the controlled delivery of temperature sensitive products and improve the overall productivity. Examples of such tools / technologies (in no specific order) include automation and robotics, augmented reality, cloud computing, blockchain technology, artificial intelligence and other such advanced technical solutions. Examples of companies that are presently offering such tools / techniques include (in alphabetical order, no selection criteria) CargoSense, DeltaTrak, Dynamox, Entera Solutions, NexG, OpenPort, SwanLeap, TAG Sensors, and ZilionSouce Technologies.
  • The market for cold chain logistics is expected to grow at an annualized rate of over 9.8% between 2018 and 2030. While logistics services for cell therapies are expected to capture the majority share in the market, the vaccines segment is anticipated to witness a relatively faster growth rate. In terms of products, those that are required to be stored / transported at cryogenic and frozen temperatures are estimated to capture a significant proportion of the current market.
  • North America (primarily the US) and Europe currently hold the larger share (over 60%) in the overall cold chain logistics market. This is followed by Asia-Pacific and the rest of the world, which currently capture around 40% of the overall market share. We are led to believe that this trend is not likely to change significantly in the foreseen future.
