The U.S. biopharmaceutical third-party logistics market size is expected to reach USD 87.2 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 7.3% over the forecast period. Increasing demand for novel biologics and the need to manage those is boosting the market growth. Besides, rising demand for temperature-controlled logistic services to transport biologics in various regions and growing distribution networks of biopharmaceutical companies to improve their sales are factors driving the growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on global logistics to some extent due to diminished air freight capacity and reduced workforce at warehouses and airports. The decisions of local authorities to shut down the logistic infrastructure, enforce movement restrictions, or put in place additional requirements to suppress transmission of the virus have also impacted the logistic services. This has significantly hindered many supply operations.
The future seems lucrative for the biopharmaceutical third-party logistics industry in the U.S. with the retraction of government regulations related to transportation and shelter-in-place mandates. A sudden surge in the demand for cold chain logistics was observed during the pandemic. Growth in the manufacture and distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine is expected throughout 2021. For instance, in March 2021, FedEx Express started shipping COVID-19 vaccines for McKesson Corp. to centers all across the U.S. The company has already shipped millions of COVID-19 vaccines since mid-December 2020.
