DHL Supply Chain says it has agreed to acquire SDS Rx, expand healthcare reach

DHL Supply Chain is expanding its healthcare reach with the acquisition of SDS Rx, a company that handles last-mile deliveries for long-term care and specialty pharmacies, radiopharmacies, and health system networks. SDS Rx runs operations from more than 200 U.S. locations. The deal adds new last-mile services to DHL’s healthcare network and improves its same-day and urgent delivery options. “The life sciences and healthcare sector is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 11% through 2030. Specialty pharmacy already accounts for approximately 50% of total prescription drug spending in the U.S., and the number of patients served by specialty pharmacies grew by 12% between 2018 and 2022,” said Mark Kunar, CEO of DHL Supply Chain North America.
