South America: Risk, Opportunity, and Strategic Uncertainty

South America holds growing importance for pharmaceutical manufacturing, raw materials, and market expansion. At the same time, political instability in countries such as Venezuela—and broader regional tensions—introduce uncertainty into trade relationships and logistics planning.

Recent geopolitical events, including allegations of foreign interference and political pressure, raise questions about future alignment and trade behavior. Pharma companies must consider whether regulatory cooperation, customs processes, and infrastructure investment will remain stable or become politicized.

Opportunities exist: near-shoring, regional production hubs, and diversified sourcing could strengthen supply security. However, these opportunities require careful assessment of political risk, legal stability, and logistics reliability.

Strategic engagement with South America demands nuance. Blind expansion creates exposure; informed investment creates resilience. Pharma logistics leaders must stay informed and adaptable.
