1. Digital Transformation
More distributors are adopting digital tools for inventory management, order processing, and customer engagement. Automation and data analytics are improving efficiency and transparency.
2. Cold Chain Logistics
With the rise of biologics and temperature-sensitive medicines, robust cold chain logistics are essential. Distributors are investing in advanced storage and transportation solutions.
3. Regulatory Compliance
