Cold Chain Packaging: Bridging Capacity Gaps for Biologics Expansion

The rapid expansion of biologics is exposing critical infrastructure gaps in cold chain logistics, particularly in emerging markets where temperature-controlled supply chains remain underdeveloped. This session examines the operational realities of scaling cold chain capacity to meet growing demand, exploring the trade-offs between reusable and single-use packaging systems, the role of data-sharing frameworks in ensuring temperature compliance, and how geopolitical disruptions are reshaping airline and last-mile delivery strategies. Attendees will gain practical insights into bridging capacity gaps while balancing cost efficiency, sustainability, and regulatory requirements.

Key Topics:

- Infrastructure Gaps in Emerging Markets: Addressing barriers to biologics access and strategies for building cold chain capacity

- Reusable vs. Single-Use Packaging: Evaluating cost, sustainability, and operational trade-offs for temperature-controlled solutions

- Temperature Monitoring and Compliance: Data-sharing frameworks and IoT-enabled systems for real-time supply chain visibility
