1. Increasing Globalization Trends Driving the Market for Clinical Trial
Cold Chain Services
A new report expects the total cold chain logistics spending on clinical trial materials to grow
at a CAGR of around 4% during 2012-2016.
Driven by an increased spending and globalization of clinical trials, the demand for efficient
storage and transportation services for clinical trial materials has increased significantly over
the past few years. Research firm IMARC Group expects this market to grow at a CAGR of
around 4% during 2012-2016, according to its latest report titled “Global Healthcare Cold
Chain Logistics Market Report & Forecast: 2012-2017”. According to an analyst at
IMARC Group, “the increasing trends in clinical trials outsourcing is creating additional steps
in the overall supply chain of clinical trial materials (drugs, blood samples, tissue samples,
urine samples, sputum samples, etc). In many cases contract research organizations and
their sponsors may be present in two different countries, this is quite evident from the fact
that the number of clinical trials in many Asian, Latin American and East European countries
are increasing rapidly whereas the sponsors are based in the US and Western Europe. The
large distance creates huge requirements for the efficient cold chain packaging, storage and
transportation of clinical trial materials between the clinical trial sponsor and the contract
research organization”.
