According to research, the Global Pharma Industry today is roughly USD 1.1 trillion and projected to rise by 41% by 2020. Products that require refrigerated storage are worth USD 260 billion. It is estimated that by 2020, the pharma cold chain logistics will be worth USD 16.7 billion at a growth rate of 8% to 9% year on. The biggest drivers of cold-chain logistics over the next few years will be:

a Continued development of biologically based productsa Approval and market penetration of biosimilarsa Expansion in both usage and production of these drugs and other cold-chain products in emerging markets

Statistics reveal that over USD 15 billion in product losses occur every year in the pharmaceutical industry due to temperature excursions alone. This figure does not include the costs associated with replacing those goods, the labor costs (direct / indirect) associated with the root cause analysis process, or other causes of product loss such as shock, humidity, etc. All accounted for, it is estimated that over USD 35 billion is lost each year.

In the pharmaceutical supply chain, every detail counts. Perishable products such as vaccines and insulin re-quires constant temperature monitoring in transportation to prevent temperature abuse which can jeopardize the safety and integrity of the products. 36% of vaccine shelf-life is lost due to poor cold chain management. Therefore, Good Cold Chain Management is an integration of several processes that are either enforced by legislation or adopted through guidelines.

The MENA region continues to face its challenges as most temperature deviations occur during supply chain transportation. The pharmaceutical industry relies heavily on the airline industry for its speed and efficiency. Unfortunately, 57% of deviations happen at the airport premises. Temperature changes during transportation have been a serious threat to the integrity of the products. Shippers in the region are on a constant look out for service providers who can help them maintain the product integrity and efficacy during transportation.

To combat the region’s ongoing challenges, the 4th Annual MENA Pharmaceutical Cold Chain Forum will bring together key decision makers who are involved in the current cold chain practice to present on the region’s top priorities:a Current status and future roadmap of the pharma cold chaina Regulatory Compliancea Innovative and accurate solutions supporting the shift from distributor to deliverya GDP Compliancea Responsibility of Airlines and Airports towards mitigating temperature deviationsa Integrity in warehousing and distribution of pharma cold chain products
