Over the last 24 months, we have witnessed market growth and new logistics hubs established around the globe by forwarders and distributors, in order to service and support a more round-the-clock global network for pharmaceutical product supply. Nonetheless, challenges remain with the increasingly fragile biologics product and tightened GDP regulations.
