While remarkable progress has been made with technological, operational and behavioral improvements in the century-old, automotive-based transport systems used around the world, rapid technological changes are occurring that could amount to a reset in outcomes for transport users. The convergence of connectivity, automation, electrification and on-demand services suggests a transformation in transport safety, community access, traffic efficiency, emissions and energy use.

It’s probably too strong to say the logo on the side of the truck is now more important than the logo on the side of the box. But it’s certainly not overstating things to say that consumers demand fast, reliable, free (in many cases) shipping, with easily accessible updates. In one 2021 survey, 47% of consumers said they would consider abandoning a retailer after a single bad shipping experience.

Modern life sciences organizations understand the technological forces that surround them and look for ways to harness them for the benefit of consumers and patients alike. They are gearing up to adapt life science-specific technology trends most likely to disrupt over the next 18–24 months. Let’s check out trends that may be most relevant and could have significant effects on life sciences and healthcare businesses, from the rise of strategy and technology becoming inseparable to the fast-eroding line between the real and virtual worlds.

There are almost no supply chains left unbruised right now, as multiple waves of hard-hitting disruptions challenged even the most experienced of operators. We are, by now, completely aware of the fissures in supply chains that can rapidly open into chasms. The next big question is how to move on and create the supply chain of the future that is resilient against shocks? The answer lies in strengthening the shared data links across supply chains, and then turning this information into insights that can then be acted upon rapidly and decisively. The inherent complexity of most modern supply chains means that this is no easy task and that human operators need help in moving towards this goal, especially as the data flows are only going to increase with the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT).

The climate crisis is one of the most pressing risks to global health: [1] rising temperatures are resulting in an increase in hospital admissions and heat-related deaths; extreme weather events such as flooding and droughts are disrupting food systems, displacing people, and undermining access to healthcare; and changing patterns of water-borne and vector-borne diseases are threatening decades of progress in infectious disease control.[2] Climate change is also exacerbating the incidence of many non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including cardiovascular and respiratory illnesses, through increased air pollution, extreme heat, and other factors.[

Global maritime trade expanded at a slower pace in 2018, while volumes reached 11 billion tons. Reflecting developments in the world economy and trade activity, international maritime trade lost momentum in 2018. Volumes expanded at 2.7 per cent in 2018, down from 4.1 per cent in 2017. The slowdown was broadbased and affected nearly all maritime cargo segments. It undermined global port cargo-handling activities, and growth in containerized global port throughput decelerated to 4.7 per cent, down from 6.7 per cent in 2017.
