Top Pharmaceutical Supply Chain Challenges
Supply chain visibility
Poor supply chain visibility makes it difficult for companies to track-and-trace goods. This increases the possibilities of drug shortages, counterfeits, and opioids and makes it imperative for companies to improve supply chain management while ensuring safer products for patients.
Drug counterfeiting
Counterfeiting is one of the most common pharmaceutical supply chain challenges. Counterfeiters target markets where the ability to detect defective products is quite low. They target areas where the penalty for engaging in counterfeiting is low and there is no strict policing. This puts companies with global supply chains at a higher risk and requires them to take immediate actions.

Cold-chain shipping
As the need for biologics is increasing, companies have been compelled to increase their production. Such medicines need a low-temperature range as they are heat sensitive and susceptible to contamination. Keeping such medicines frosty is one of the major pharmaceutical supply chain challenges that companies need to address to adopt cold-chain shipping.
