United Parcel Service is investing $48 million in 27 temperature‑controlled facilities as the industry sees a boom in healthcare logistics, CNBC has learned exclusively.
The facilities, located across the Americas, Europe and Asia, are optimized for moving around shipments that need to be kept at certain temperatures. The company said the investment will help it stay ahead of a boom in medicines and pharmaceuticals — like some GLP-1s — that have to be kept at certain temperatures by improving speed and end-to-end chain of custody.
“Our global cross-dock facilities strengthen our end-to-end cold-chain capabilities to ensure critical treatments are delivered safely and reliably to patients around the world,” said Kate Gutmann, UPS’ president of international, healthcare and supply chain solutions. “This effort – and all of our work in healthcare logistics – extends from a deep understanding that we’re doing more than moving packages.”
The demand for temperature-sensitive biologics is projected to grow at an 8.3% compound annual growth rate through 2033 and reach a market value of roughly $39.1 billion, according to Growth Market Reports. Many new medicines are required to be stored at specific temperatures to maintain efficacy, UPS said, making healthcare logistics more crucial than before.
According to the World Health Organization, up to 50% of global vaccines are wasted every year, with a significant portion of that coming from cold-chain storage issues.
“These investments reflect our commitment to continue to align our leading end-to-end supply chain to protect innovative treatments and diagnostics, supporting better patient outcomes,” UPS Healthcare President John Bolla said in a statement.
UPS’ move comes as the industry overall has seen growing investments in the space, especially with the meteoric rise of GLP-1 drugs. Medicines like Novo Nordisk‘s Wegovy and Ozempic require strict refrigeration and temperature control during transit. A November KFF poll found that 1 in 8 Americans are taking GLP-1s.
UPS CEO Carol Tomé said on the company’s first-quarter earnings call in April that healthcare remains one of the company’s top priorities and biggest areas of growth.
“Our global healthcare portfolio has gained market share every year since 2021,” she said on the call. “And in the first quarter of this year, we generated our first $3 billion healthcare revenue quarter ever, with all three of our segments delivering year-over-year revenue growth.”
Tomé added that UPS is committed to continuing to “lean into that space in a meaningful way.”
I would describe myself as a barbell investor focused on two ends of the risk spectrum: relatively safe, income-generating investments on one side, and high-risk, high upside opportunities—primarily binary healthcare and biotech bets—on the other. Professionally, I work as an R&D researcher in the pharmaceutical industry. Combined with my background in economics and self-training in finance, this provides me with unique perspective when evaluating biotech companies. My research spans multiple dimensions of the sector, including platform technologies, IP and freedom-to-operate considerations, mechanistic feasibility, competitive landscapes, binary clinical trial readouts and corporate financials. As an individual investor, I place significant emphasis on valuation, risk management and capital allocation. On the income-investing side of the portfolio, I actively follow dividend paying stock picks, including preferred shares, REITs, BDCs and option-based income ETFs. The objective is to build a durable stream of cash flow that can support moonshot bets on the other side of the barbell. Through my writing on Seeking Alpha, I aim to share independent, research-driven investment ideas from both ends of this barbell approach. My goal is to combine scientific insight, fundamental analysis and risk management to encourage disciplined trading and develop well-grounded investment thesis.

Alan Greenspan, former chair of the board of the governors of the Federal Reserve System, died on Monday at the age of 100 years old, according to a statement from his wife Andrea Mitchell, NBC News chief Washington correspondent and chief foreign affairs correspondent.
”Alan passed away at our home this morning at the age of 100 from complications of Parkinson’s Disease,” Mitchell said in the statement.
“He was a giant of a man who helped shape the U.S. economy for decades under presidents of both parties, but was always honest in acknowledging his mistakes,” she continued. “To me he was my husband, who shaped my life from our very first date in 1984. “

“He had ‘irrational exuberance’ for baseball, the Washington Commanders, tennis, golf and music, especially jazz. He will be remembered for his brilliance and his kindness,” Mitchell noted. “Being his life partner was the joy of my life.”
