Clinical Trial Supply And Logistics Market To Reach USD 8.8 Billion By 2034, Driven By Biologics And Digital Innovation

(MENAFN- EIN Presswire)

Reports And Data

clinical trial supply and logistics market for pharmaceuticals is on track for robust expansion, with projections showing growth from USD 3.7 billion in 2024

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA, September 9, 2025 /EINPresswire / -- The global clinical trial supply and logistics market for pharmaceuticals is on track for robust expansion, with projections showing growth from USD 3.7 billion in 2024 to USD 8.8 billion by 2034. This reflects a strong compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%, according to Reports And Data.

The market is being fueled by the increasing complexity of clinical trials, rising demand for biologics, and stricter global regulations. Biologics supply chains are expected to be the fastest-growing segment, requiring advanced logistics due to their temperature sensitivity and unique handling needs. The growing adoption of personalized medicine and more complex trial designs is further boosting demand for reliable supply solutions.

North America Leads the Market

North America is set to maintain its leadership position, supported by strong healthcare infrastructure, significant R&D investments, and regulatory reforms. Initiatives such as the U.S. Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) and Europe's Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD) are shaping the way companies handle tracking, serialization, and safety of pharmaceuticals.

Technology Driving Efficiency

Digital transformation is playing a central role in reshaping the industry. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) for predictive logistics is growing by 30%, helping companies optimize supply chain efficiency and reduce risks. Blockchain adoption is also increasing by 25%, providing greater transparency and traceability across the pharmaceutical supply chain. These technologies are expected to cut operational inefficiencies by up to 20% over the next five years, according to the International Federation of Pharmaceutical Manufacturers & Associations (IFPMA).

Recent innovations highlight the industry's direction. In 2024, Thermo Fisher Scientific introduced a cold chain logistics service that reduces temperature excursions by 30%, addressing one of the most pressing challenges in the supply of biologics and other temperature-sensitive medicines.

Key Growth Drivers and Challenges

The market is gaining momentum from public investments, such as the U.S. government's USD 500 million funding for healthcare infrastructure upgrades, and from the rapid expansion of cold chain logistics, projected to grow 12% year over year. However, the industry still faces hurdles.

Managing global supply chains remains complex, with pharmaceutical companies navigating diverse regulations across regions. Compliance costs are rising, with the European Medicines Agency reporting that FMD-related requirements have increased logistics expenses by 15%. Similarly, PwC estimates that compliance measures such as serialization and traceability add 10% annually to logistics costs.

Technology adoption also presents barriers. Deloitte research shows that 60% of companies identify the high cost of AI and blockchain integration as a key challenge. Interoperability issues and the need for specialized skills further slow adoption. Additionally, temperature excursions in cold chain logistics remain a significant risk, with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) estimating that 20% of pharmaceutical product losses are linked to improper temperature control.
