On June 22, CNBC reported that United Parcel Service Inc. (NYSE:UPS) is poised to invest $48 million in 27 temperature-controlled facilities. The investment comes as the logistics powerhouse seeks to capitalize on a boom in healthcare logistics.

The market for temperature-sensitive biologics is poised to grow at a 8.3% compound annual growth rate through 2033, reaching $39.1 billion.
