Specialty drugs are normally complex to manufacture, high-cost medications requiring specialized handling, storage, and transport to maintain efficacy. The distribution channels are essential for specialty drugs, as they often require special handling and storage throughout the supply chain. Specialty drugs are expensive or hard to obtain; thus, a well-designed distribution strategy is necessary to ensure timely and proper access to the right patients. A distribution channel for specialty drugs allows for a smooth flow of specialty drugs from the manufacturer through the wholesaler to the pharmacy, ensuring that they arrive intact and promptly while adhering to safety standards. By utilizing effective distribution methods, healthcare providers can ensure that specialty drugs are properly handled and safely transported while meeting necessary time-sensitive requirements. Robust distribution systems provide an extra layer of safety to guarantee that these temperature requirements are met throughout the supply chain. However, the complexity of managing different distribution channels and drug data and dynamic regulatory frameworks for specialty drug handling restricts the market growth. On the other hand, the rising expansion of specialty pharmacies and new advancements and technologies, including cold chain management and track & trace systems, among others, integrated for the seamless distribution of the specialty drug is aiming at enhancing the efficiency, safety, and overall patient experience in the distribution of specialty drugs.
