Canada Healthcare Logistics Market: Key Drivers, Trends and Challenges

Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.

Key Canada Healthcare Logistics Market Driver

Increasing development of healthcare products with special logistics needs is the key factor driving market growth. The majority of medicines and medical equipment used in Canada are imported from countries such as the US, China, Mexico, or Germany.  The US pharma companies benefited from the similarity of regulations in the US and Canada with regard to the safety and quality of medical devices and pharmaceutical products. Thus, the increased import of new pharmaceutical products and medical devices in Canada has given rise to the need for more effective logistics services for the efficient transportation of temperature-sensitive products.

Furthermore, maintaining a temperature-controlled environment requires the use of cold chain solutions, which makes it difficult for manufacturers of such products to optimize their packaging and transportation costs. Therefore, manufacturers are availing the services of logistics service providers with expertise in cold chain logistics for the transportation of new pharmaceutical products. Hence, the increasing development of healthcare products with special logistics needs is anticipated to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Key Canada Healthcare Logistics Market Trends

The emergence of drones in healthcare logistics is the primary trend shaping market growth. The drones are unmanned air vehicles and they fly autonomously through remote control by a pilot. Applications of drones to the transport sector, notably delivery operations in remote and rural areas, are increasing beyond military use. Drones can overcome the problem of inadequate road or railway infrastructure. They can deliver essential healthcare supplies, such as pharmaceutical drugs and small-sized and low-weight medical devices in hard-to-reach remote destinations.

Moreover, key participants in the pharmaceuticals and healthcare supply chain are focusing on using UAVs for last-mile deliveries. In addition, the use of drones will also help logistics companies customize their supply chain model effectively based on real-time information received from the UAV. Hence, the increased use of drones for the delivery of healthcare supplies in Canada is expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Key Canada Healthcare Logistics Market Challenge

Shortage of transportation drivers resulting in higher lead time is a challenge that affects market growth. In the pharmaceutical sector, where the lead time is of critical importance because of the potential to save lives through medical assistance, the shortage of skilled drivers may lead to supply chain disruption. The absence of drivers in the country has resulted in delays in plans by carriers to expand their fleets. The shortage of drivers in the country is also impacting the demand for healthcare logistics services, especially in remote and rural areas.

In addition, in rural areas, logistics is highly complex due to the lack of proper infrastructure; thus, there is a need for experienced truck drivers who can adapt to such challenges while ensuring the timely delivery of pharmaceutical products. Furthermore, with the geriatric population rising in the country, the availability of experienced drivers is also expected to decline further in Canada, leading to a rise in the demand-supply disparities for skilled truck drivers, thereby negatively impacting the growth of the market during the forecast period.
