6 TECH OUTLOOKNovember - 2020EditorialStacey Smith Editor-in-Chiefeditor@pharmatechoutlook.comThe ever-growing Asian markets have proven to be of utmost interest to the pharmaceutical industry. Among Asia's most attractive markets are China and India, with an expected GDP growth of 6.4% in China and 7.4% in India from 2017 to 2019. Mature markets such as Japan and Australia show less expected GDP growth than the developing markets of Asia. However, they exempt higher healthcare expenditure as a percentage of GDP, leading to fantastic opportunities for the pharmaceutical industry.Today, products such as vaccines, biopharmaceuticals, and cell therapies, need to be transported under stringent environmental conditions where temperature, humidity, light exposure, and other variables are tightly controlled. Tracking and monitoring the ingredients from suppliers to the factory, measuring temperature, time, and the location to deliver reliable data and a clear line of sight at every stage is critical. This level of visibility and tracking are the top areas that can help supply chain leaders--and therefore, healthcare and pharma providers--to identify efficiencies and gaps and then tie that to their business profitability.With COVID-19, the world faces a situation where countries have to enforce lockdowns, discontinue manufacturing, close borders, and introduce unique controls, which leads to an interruption of supply chains. As the race to discover, develop, and market medicine accelerates, examples of differentiated, value-specific supply chains for different product types appear everywhere. United by the same agenda, Pharma Tech Outlook's editorial board has assessed and shortlisted the top Supply Chain Management Consulting/Services Companies that are at the forefront of providing cutting-edge technology services. We hope this edition will provide you with the right assistance in choosing the best Supply Chain Management Services according to your requirements.Let us know your thoughts!Current Challenges in Pharmaceutical Distribution MarketCopyright © 2020 ValleyMedia Inc.
