Pharmaceutical cargo theft isn't slowing down - it's getting more expensive. The average loss per cargo theft incident hit $564,009 in mid-2026, driven by a wave of multi-million-dollar pharmaceutical and tech hauls. Fewer thefts, far bigger paydays: that's the trend defining cold chain logistics security right now. From vaccines to GLP-1 medications, temperature-sensitive freight is a growing target for organized theft rings who know exactly what they're after.

Our recent blog breaks down why cold chain shipments need specialized protection - and what that actually looks like in practice. Check out the full blog at www.bluestarsecurity.com/knowledge-hub
