Informing the pharmaceutical drug development, clinical trial, and manufacturing industry.

RALEIGH, NC, USA, November 29, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Industry Standard Research’s (ISR’s) 2022 Clinical Logistics Benchmarking report reveals that survey respondents’ most used providers for outsourced clinical logistics activities are World Courier, Catalent, and Parexel. Respondents are all verified outsourcing decision-makers from sponsor organizations who have had recent service encounters with these providers. The majority of responses indicated that sponsors somewhat prefer integrated clinical trial service providers (CROs that also offer clinical logistics support) over other company types that offer those services.

“Although there’s a notable preference for integrated providers, World Courier, a specialty courier catering to the life science industry, is top of mind for this set of survey participants,” notes Kate Hammeke, Vice President of Market Research at ISR. “World Courier was named #1 for usage and preference and was also in the top 5 companies considered for future RFPs.”

This report includes additional information on buyers’ outsourcing philosophies and practices, logistics provider perceptions and interactions, and key selection drivers along with in-depth analyses specific to clinical logistics.
