Integrated Solutions for Cold Chain Pharmaceuticals

For the pharmaceutical industry, the cost of developing new and innovative therapies will continue to rise (the cost of developing a drug is now estimated to be between $1.5 billion to more than $1.8 billion¹).

The cost, time, resources and additional innovation needed to successfully develop and launch a new drug delivery technology is always underestimated. And when it comes to drugs requiring cold storage, that cost can skyrocket – particularly if the packaging, transportation and storage fails to maintain an adequate environment.
