Abstract
Overview
Introduction
Ideally drug supply should be a simple and transparent chain that connects the
manufacturer and patient in as few steps as possible, however in practice it
can be a highly circuitous one that includes several intermediaries before
reaching a pharmacy. This increases the risk of counterfeit drugs and
facilitates parallel trade, both leading to lost sales for the manufacturer.
Scope
- An overview of the drug supply chain in Europe and the US.
- Identification of the key players in the drug supply chain.
- Coverage of recent trends and key events in the distribution industry.
- Analysis of the impact of new events on the key stakeholders.
Report Highlights
With the trend towards market expansion, higher drug volumes must be
transported further, necessitating the use of logistics coordination on a
global scale. As distribution needs increase, the knock-on effect of
state-enforced cost-containment strategies are reducing already tight margins,
forcing many stakeholders to change their strategy.
Manufacturers are looking to gain greater control over the drug supply chain,
to safeguard it against counterfeit entry, but also to regulate drug supply
and therefore limit diversion. The most progressive events have occurred in
the UK, where Pfizer has implemented direct to pharmacy distribution, with
other companies likely to follow suit.
Competitive pressures have and will continue to drive consolidation along the
supply chain, with vertical integration providing a means of extending control
and limiting margin loss. A relaxation in pharmacy laws in Europe will lead to
an increase of chains, while wholesaler-pharmacy and manufacturer-pharmacy
combinations are becoming common.
Reasons to Purchase

Europe, and who the key players are.
- Become aware of new issues in the distribution industry, and how they
influence the major stakeholders.
- Gain an insight into current trends in distribution, and how they are
likely to change going forward.
