The Railway mode of transportation is highly fuel-efficient and can be termed as a ‘green’ mode of transportation. Marine shipments are used for the movement of bulk commodities.

Healthcare Logistics Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

• Rapid Growth In The E-Commerce Sector

E-commerce or electronic commerce is the process of buying and selling goods and services over an electronic network or online platform, primarily the Internet. In recent times, the widespread use of e-commerce platforms such as Amazon, Flipkart, and eBay has contributed to substantial growth in online buying and selling of goods. This has provided a platform for consumers to freely purchase healthcare products and use them according to their requirements.      

• High Benefits Offered By Third Party Logistics

Third-party logistics is outsourced with operational logistics from warehousing to delivery, this includes providing a number of services in the supply chain such as freight forwarding, packaging, order fulfillment, inventory forecasting, picking and packing, warehousing, and transportation. Third-party logistics offer a wide range of benefits as it helps the business owners to focus more on the other aspects of business such as product development, marketing, and sales. The high benefits offered by third-party logistics are therefore acting as the major factor for boosting the growth of the global healthcare logistics market.    

• Rising Growth In Cross Border Trades

Globalization is the interdependence of the world's economies, populations, and cultures brought together by cross-border trade in technology, goods, and others. Today, most of the country's economy is highly dependent on buying and selling goods among various countries. Asia-Pacific region has been the major players in the Middle East and Africa trade and has a high volume of trade flow that has increased the requirement of logistics service providers to make the flow of trade more convenient and faster. Thus, it is boosting the growth in the healthcare logistics market in Middle East and Africa. 

• Congestion Associated With Trade Routes

As traffic volumes and congestion grows on roadways and waterways, freight and transport service operators grow to be increasingly challenged to keep reliable schedules. This affects supply chains and truck-dependent businesses, each of which is of growing significance for both public coverage and private region operators. Moreover, several accidents on roads or oil spills at sea can result in unexpected healthcare logistics restraints. Recent COVID-19 has also halted several logistics operations causing severe damage to entire supply chain operations. These factors act as a significant restraint for the growth of the Middle East and Africa healthcare logistics market.   

• High Cost Associated With Reverse Logistics

The cost associated with reverse logistics services offered by various manufacturers and service providers is high. Reverse logistics services are quite popular in the healthcare sector due to the high demand for various healthcare-related products. According to Thomas Publishing Company, Industrial equipment return rates are approximately 4% to 8%, while healthcare equipment has 8% to 20%. Total U.S. revenue impacted by returns is estimated between USD 52 Million and USD 106 Million.

The reason for reverse logistics services being so expensive are a combination of various factors which determine the pricing of these services.

• Concerns Related To Inventory Management in Healthcare Logistics

Inventory management is the process of ordering, storing, and selling a company's products and maintaining its logs. This includes the management of raw materials, components, and finished products and warehousing and processing of returned items.

Inventory is a company's most valuable asset. Adopting inventory management can increase productivity, reduce costs, mitigate risks, improve customer satisfaction, cut costs, and maximize return on assets. However, inventory management has become quite difficult tricky for healthcare logistics services providers.

• Inclination Towards Digitalization Of The Sector

Digital transformation is referred to the changes that a business undergoes by adopting digital technology. It has become a necessity for transportation and logistics to give extreme importance to optimization, efficiency, speed, and timing. The changing scenario in the market and upcoming new trends have made it highly important for the transportation industry to go under digital transformation. Healthcare logistics companies use mobile devices to improve agility. Moreover, the mobile apps help the customers to order, process, and track return shipments at any time. This growing digital transformation of the logistics industry is thus boosting the growth of the healthcare logistics market.

• Inadequate Labour Resources To Handle Return

The overall supply chain management process involves analyzing a large amount of data and a large number of returns. Due to rapid growth in the E-commerce sector, the workforce needs to take the necessary steps at the right time. The information provided needs to be well-executed in order to provide optimum results and quality of services.

However, lack of skilled workers and training to the employees can lead to several errors causing inefficiency in the services offered, acting as a major challenge for the growth in the healthcare logistics sector. This can be a major setback as customer satisfaction is everything in the healthcare logistic sector. The workforce working in healthcare logistics must be trained in identifying specific serial or part numbers. Moreover, the workforce must know the authoritative inventory, warranty policy, and accounting information housed in their central enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, but it's difficult to find a skilled workforce to handle healthcare product returns.

Post COVID-19 Impact on Healthcare Logistics Market

COVID-19 created a major impact on the healthcare logistics market as almost every country has opted for the shutdown for every production facility except the ones dealing in producing the essential goods. The government has taken some strict actions such as the shutdown of production and sale of non-essential goods, blocked international trade, and many more to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The only business which is dealing in this pandemic situation is the essential services that are allowed to open and run the processes.

The growth of the healthcare logistics market is increase in growth of logistics through airways and water ways and rapid growth in the e-commerce sector across the world. However, factors such as concerns related to inventory management in healthcare logistics are restraining the market growth. The shutdown of production facilities during the pandemic situation has had a significant impact on the market.

Manufacturers are making various strategic decisions to bounce back post-COVID-19. The players are conducting multiple research and development activities to improve the technology involved in the healthcare logistics. With this, the companies will bring advanced and accurate controllers to the market. In addition, the use of healthcare logistics by government authorities in sea freight logistics, air freight logistics, overland logistics and contract logistics has led to the market's growth.
