Clinical Trial Supply and Logistics Market Introduction and Overview 

According to SPER Market Research, the Global Clinical Trial Supply and Logistics Market is estimated to reach USD 9.75 billion by 2034 with a CAGR of 8.21%.

The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Global Clinical Trial Supply and Logistics Market, including market size and trends, product mix, Applications, and supplier analysis. The global market for clinical trial supply and logistics was valued at approximately USD 4.43 billion in 2024, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.21% from 2025 to 2034. The increasing adoption of precision medicine, biologics, and decentralized trials has notably heightened the complexity of supply chains. Advanced therapies necessitate strict temperature controls, tailored packaging, and real-time tracking to maintain product integrity. This demand has led to a rise in the need for specialized logistics providers adept at managing intricate supply chains, thus promoting market expansion.


By Service Insights
The logistics and distribution segment was the largest in 2024, driven by growing trial complexity, globalization, and strict regulatory requirements. There is rising demand for temperature-controlled transportation, just-in-time deliveries, and real-time shipment tracking, leading to investments in cold chain logistics. The global expansion of clinical trials requires regional distribution hubs to improve supply chain efficiency. Compliance with regulations like Good Distribution Practices (GDP) heightens the need for specialized logistics providers. The shift to direct-to-patient models and decentralized trials increases demand for flexible distribution solutions.

By Phase Insights
In the clinical trial supply and logistics market, the phase III segment held the largest share in 2024, due to increased clinical trial activities, extensive patient enrollment, complex protocols, and regulatory costs. Investments in logistics are driven by the demand for temperature-controlled storage and global distribution networks. The phase II segment is anticipated to grow, influenced by increased trial volumes and demands for temperature-sensitive biologics.

By Therapeutic Area Insights
In 2024, the cardiovascular diseases segment had the largest market share due to the rising number of heart disease cases and the focus on new medicines to treat these conditions. Companies are implementing strategies to lower heart attack and stroke rates. The oncology segment is expected to grow significantly, driven by the demand for personalized cancer therapies, biologics, and cell & gene treatments, which require careful logistics and regulatory compliance.

By End User Insights
In terms of end user, the pharmaceutical segment held the largest share in 2024, fueled by increased R&D investments and complex trial designs. The growing globalization of clinical trials and the need for advanced logistics solutions support this growth. The biologicals segment is anticipated to grow rapidly, driven by the demand for biologics like vaccines and increased investment in product development.

Regional Insights
North America led the market, holding the largest revenue share in 2024. This region is responsible for the highest number of clinical trials conducted globally, serving as a significant catalyst for the growth of the clinical trial supply and logistics market. A substantial increase in investments in clinical trials, along with a rise in the number of participants in the clinical trial supply and logistics sector, is anticipated to further drive growth.
The Asia-Pacific region is projected to experience robust growth during the forecast period, attributed to an upsurge in clinical trial activities, reduced operational costs, and an expanding pharmaceutical industry. Nations such as China, India, and Japan are pivotal hubs, drawing global sponsors due to their diverse patient populations and regulatory advancements.



Market Competitive Landscape
The Global Clinical Trial Supplies and Logistics industry is marked by the presence of leading companies such as Parexel International, Catalent, Inc., Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., and DHL International GmbH, which compete in terms of service offerings, geographical reach, technological advancements, and partnerships. Mergers and acquisitions are crucial strategies employed by these companies to broaden their service offerings and geographical footprint. Establishing partnerships with pharmaceutical firms and contract research organizations (CROs) further enhances their market presence.

Recent Developments:

  • In March 2025, DHL Group revealed its acquisition of Cryoport, Inc.’s CRYOPDP, aimed at bolstering its supply chain services for the global life sciences and healthcare industry. CRYOPDP specializes in courier services for clinical trials, biopharmaceuticals, and cell and gene therapy.
  • In January 2025, Thermo Fisher Scientific formed a partnership with Pfizer to improve supply chain transparency through the integration of blockchain technology. This collaboration is designed to enhance drug traceability, reduce counterfeiting risks, and optimize the real-time monitoring of investigational drugs during clinical trials. By utilizing blockchain technology, both organizations aim to strengthen data security, ensure regulatory compliance, and streamline logistics operations across global trial sites.
  • In November 2024, FedEx announced the expansion of its Korea Life Science Center located in Gimpo, South Korea, to enhance healthcare logistics in the area. The facility features five distinct temperature-controlled zones, accommodating temperatures ranging from -150 °C to 25 °C. Additionally, the facility guarantees compliance with pharmaceutical cold chain regulations.
