Full-line distributor sales topped $300 billion in 2012 - DQSA lot/item level tracking stats

Full-line distributor sales topped $300 billion in 2012, representing 91% of pharma sales - Pharmaceutical Commerce:

"The Factbook contains operational details often of high interest to vendors serving wholesalers’ infrastructure needs. One particular number to call out: two out of three HDMA members are already tracking lot-level barcodes through their systems for at least some of their products. Lot-level tracking is now the centerpiece of the Drug Quality and Security Act, which will mandate such tracking over the next four years. Data on item-level tracking (the next stage in DQSA) is occurring, but at significantly lower percentages."
