Logistics for the pharmaceutical industry
Logistics in the pharmaceutical sector involves all those operations oriented to the storage and distribution of active ingredients, biological products, drugs and other chemical products, from the supplier to the point of sale.
According to estimates by Grand View Research, the pharmaceutical logistics market will experience global growth of 3.5% per year until 2025, highlighting the need for companies to optimize logistics operations to remain competitive in the sector.
Due to the particularity of its products, pharmaceutical logistics may require special conditions that make it more complex compared to logistics in other sectors. Strict control of storage and transport temperatures, compliance with delivery deadlines, handling of fragile material, mechanisms for prompt response to health emergencies, as well as protection against theft or counterfeiting are part of the challenges for logistics in this sector.
A Expert Logistics Operator must ensure that the logistics processes are carried out under strict quality conditions in the following aspects:
- Traceability and inventory control: this is of vital importance in the event of health alerts. Maximum inventory control and product traceability allows us to promptly address cases such as contaminated lots or vials that could be affected by any other anomaly that could put consumers' health at risk.
- High levels of hygiene: it is necessary to provide storage spaces for the storage that comply with strict sanitary controls. The same applies to the procedures, which will require specialized personnel for handling this type of product.
- Special transport and storage conditions: the cold chain for vaccines and thermolabile components must be ensured at all times. Likewise, contamination or theft of medical-sanitary material must be prevented.
- Lead times: expert coordination and precision are necessary to meet delivery deadlines for products that are often urgently required. A High-Level Logistics Operator will ensure that cargo always arrives at its destination on time.
