According to the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers and Associations, till December 2020, around 78 COVID-19 vaccines had been in clinical trials. The number had been expected to surge in the year 2021. The increasing preference and demand for refrigerated vaccines, due to their better output, had a positive impact on the cold chain packaging providers, worldwide. Moreover, pharmaceutical companies had been outsourcing the cold chain capabilities to contractors, worldwide. The market is further expected to surge in the year 2021, as the vaccination pace had surged, and the opening up of the economy and the lifting up of lockdown restriction, had a positive impact on the global food & beverage sectors, worldwide.
