Vaccines to Drive the Growth of the Global Healthcare Cold Chain Logistics Market
Driven by a strong growth in the sales of vaccines, the demand for efficient cold chain packaging and transportation services is expected to grow robustly in the coming years.
- (1888PressRelease) July 26, 2011 - With sales reaching US$ 25 Billion in 2010, the global vaccine market is forecasted to grow robustly in the coming years. IMARC Group, one of the world's leading research and advisory firms, finds that the rapid growth of the global vaccines market will also create huge opportunities for cold chain logistic service providers. In its new report "Global Healthcare Cold Chain Logistics Market Report & Forecast (2011-2016)", analysts from IMARC Group suggest that vaccines are extremely temperature sensitive products that must be stored and transported under well defined conditions. The ideal storage and transportation temperatures for vaccines range from 2-8°C and any failure in their cold chain distribution can render them completely useless.
Findings from the report also suggest that while the production of vaccines is quite concentrated, its use is highly diversified across the world creating a huge demand for its efficient cold chain distribution. This fact coupled by an increasing number of global vaccination programs is expected to create a huge demand for efficient cold chain logistic services.
