Wachsende italienische Lieferkette für isothermische und gekühlte Pharmatransporte
The strategic role of pharma logistics in Italy
Pharma shipping is not only distribution of medicines to chemists and retail, but also plays a key role in hospital procurement. In recent years, hospitals have updated their supply chain model by implementing an increasing outsourcing of pharmaceutical logistics and shipping.
On the other hand, an increase in drugs (not only vaccines) that require temperature-controlled transportation with different packaging and temperature ranges has occurred.
These new factors (already appeared during the Covid pandemic and amplified by the Russian-Ukrainian war), have contributed to the growth in the volume of Italian pharma logistics, which in 2022 recorded +7.9% compared to the previous year (source: Contract Logistics Observatory/ Politecnico di Milano).
