The global cold chain market for pharmaceuticals is estimated to be worth $6.2 billion in 2023 and expected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7% during the forecast period (2023-2035).

This market report features an extensive study of the current market landscape, market size and future opportunities associated with the temperature controlled packaging in pharma cold chain market, during the forecast period. Further, the market report highlights the efforts of several stakeholders engaged in this rapidly emerging segment of the pharmaceutical packaging industry. 

One of the primary objectives addressed in this market report was the estimation of the current market size and the future growth potential within the cold chain market for pharmaceuticals in the upcoming years. Through a thorough consideration of various parameters, anticipated adoption trends, and validated by primary research, the report provides informed estimates on the expected evolution of the cold chain market for pharmaceuticals during the forecast period from 2023 to 2035. 

Recent advancements in the cold chain monitoring market have revolutionized the cold chain industry. In this context, the advent of temperature monitoring sensors / devices, such as data loggers and indicators has enabled real-time monitoring and tracking of packaged products during shipment, increasing the overall efficiency of the cold chain.

However, there are still some challenges associated with the packaging and temperature monitoring of pharmaceuticals in cold chain storage, including risk of damage, contamination, and disrupted temperature control. This can be validated from the fact that, in some countries, about 80% of the drugs are assessed to lose their effectiveness due to inadequate packaging as well as temperature control during their cold chain transportation. Further, several unanticipated challenges, such as equipment breakdown and excessive heat exposure may lead to the disruption in cold chain.

Therefore, in order to circumvent these challenges, industry players have been actively engaged in the development of hybrid solutions. These solutions involve the use of temperature data loggers integrated within the cold chain shippers / insulated containers for improved visibility and efficient tracking of pharmaceutical shipment in the cold chain industry, posing as a promising alternative over conventional packaging solutions.

Given the ongoing pace of innovation in this field, coupled with the encouraging market growth of cold chain market in pharmaceutical industry and the continuous efforts of industry players, the cold chain market for pharmaceuticals is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period.
