Key Market Trends
Managing Healthcare Supply Chain Using Blockchain to Dominate the Market
- The WHO estimates that many countries in Africa and parts of Asia and Latin America have areas where more than 30% of the medicines on sale can be counterfeit.
- Pharmaceutical supply chain surveillance has shown that incidents of substandard or counterfeit medicines continue to increase, which are perceived to be legitimate supply chains around the world. Several factors have contributed to these incidents, such as pharmaceutical supply chains, which are very complex and are at risk due to the involvement of under-regulated wholesalers, illicit distributors, non-legitimate internet pharmacies, and multiple routes for importation around the world.
- Advancements in technology have made it easier for pharmaceutical counterfeiting, to copy both product packaging and the pharmaceutical itself, so that there is a little distinction.
- When a recall happens, manufacturers must communicate clearly and swiftly with the entire supply chain, from wholesale to retail pharmacies, and collect the faulty item. This demands an increased need of collaboration which can be attained by Blockchain.
