WHAT THIS DATA DOES AND DOES NOT SAY
- Prices are at the Indian port of loading (FOB), not the final delivered cost in the destination country. Freight, insurance, import duty and local margin are not included.
- This is a single-quarter snapshot. Multi-quarter trends, year-over-year growth and historical comparisons are available on the full platform.
- A small number of records have incomplete transport mode or destination port fields; these appear blank in the shipment register but are still counted in totals.
- This report is a commercial intelligence tool, not a legal audit. For high-stakes decisions, cross-reference with the underlying trade records via the full platform.

How to read: Each bar shows one supplier’s average unit price relative to the market median (dashed line). Red = above median (premium), green = below (budget).
COMMODITY KINGS
high volume · low unit price
Bulk API/tablet. Largest absolute USD despite lowest per-unit prices. e.g. KERK Sourcing: best for cost-driven procurement.
BULK LEADERS
high volume · premium price
Branded-generic leaders, above-median pricing. e.g. RUSAN HEALTH CARE Sourcing: hardest to displace; compete on relationship.
LONG-TAIL
low volume · low unit price
Spot/opportunistic players. e.g. MEDMALL PHARMACY PVT Sourcing: first to approach for new tenders.
PREMIUM NICHE
low volume · premium price
Sterile injectables and infusions. Hospital-grade. e.g. KAMAL INTERNATIONAL DIVISION Sourcing: expect 10× price vs tablet.

§7.3 Procurement cheat sheet — median USD/unit by country × dosage
Fig 7.2 Median unit price by country × dosage form — darker cells = higher prices.
Source: TransData Nexus Pharma Trade Intelligence · Licensed database & govt sources
How to read: Each cell shows the median price per unit for that country-dosage combination. Dark blue = expensive, light = cheap. Blank cells = no shipments in that combination.
NEGOTIATION RANGE
Use each cell value as the anchor price. Typical dynamics:
- Budget buyer: anchor − 10–15% (floor = cost + freight)
- Mid-market: anchor ± 5–10%
- Premium/tender: anchor + 10–25% (regulated, quality premium)
- Injection/infusion: always 4–10× the tablet price
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Dosage form is the #1 price driver, not destination

PART IV — MARKET BEHAVIOR
Shipping Ports & Trade Routes
Which Indian ports ship nicotine, which global ports receive it, and which corridors are high-value vs bulk
KEY TAKEAWAY
Nicotine leaves India through 6+ ports. The top 5 (TUGHLAKABAD ICD, MUMBAI AIR (SAHAR), AHMEDABAD AIR) handle 100.0% of total USD. ICD moves 5% of shipments.
S FOR SUPPLIERS
Use the dumbbell to classify your port as high-value hub or bulk workhorse. Note the short-sea routes — Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and East Africa are the easiest logistics corridors for first-time exporters.
B FOR BUYERS
Use the destination port ranking to find which Indian ports serve your market. The lead-time estimates tell you what transit time to expect.

§8.1 Reference transit times for key India → global corridors
| Route | Mode | Transit time | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| NHAVA SHEVA SEA (JNPT) → US East Coast | Sea | 22–28 days | Via Suez; 2–3 transshipments typical |
| NHAVA SHEVA SEA (JNPT) → Lagos (Nigeria) | Sea | 18–24 days | Direct liner service available |
| MUMBAI AIR (SAHAR) → New York JFK | Air | 3–5 days | Direct cargo; cold-chain available |
| MUNDRA SEA → Rotterdam | Sea | 20–26 days | Via Suez; Hamburg also served |
| HYDERABAD AIR → London Heathrow | Air | 2–4 days | Pharma-grade cargo corridor |
| CHENNAI SEA → Chittagong (Bangladesh) | Sea | 7–12 days | Short-sea route; high frequency |
| RAXAUL → Birgunj (Nepal) | Road | 1–2 days | Land border crossing |
| NHAVA SHEVA SEA (JNPT) → Mombasa (Kenya) | Sea | 14–20 days | Direct or via Colombo hub |
Table 8.1 — Reference times based on standard shipping corridors. Air = 2–5 days; sea = 7–28 days; road = 1–2 days. Add 3–7 days for customs clearance at destination.

Strategic Opportunities & Action Plan
Market concentration, supply-chain risk, and the dependency patterns that signal where to act
KEY TAKEAWAY
Uganda is the most concentrated destination (HHI 10000, 1 suppliers). Bahrain is the most competitive (HHI 0).
S FOR SUPPLIERS
The HHI barbell shows where competitors have locked up a market (concentrated = poaching opportunity) vs where you must compete on quality (fragmented). The slope chart reveals who is gaining ground.
B FOR BUYERS
The HHI barbell tells you whether your country has enough supplier options. If concentrated (red zone), you have fewer alternatives.
Fig 9.1 Uganda (HHI 10,000) is the most concentrated — Zambia (HHI 8,076) is the most competitive.
Source: TransData Nexus Pharma Trade Intelligence · Licensed database & govt sources
What is HHI? The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index measures how concentrated a market is among its suppliers. It ranges from 0 to 10,000. Below 1,500 (green zone) = many suppliers compete openly — healthy, competitive market with low risk. 1,500–2,500 (yellow zone) = a few suppliers hold significant share — moderate concentration. Above 2,500 (red zone) = one or two suppliers dominate the market — high risk for buyers who may lose supply, and hard to break into for new suppliers. Conclusion: 7 of 8 destination markets are concentrated (red zone). 0 are competitive (green zone). Buyers in red-zone markets should urgently qualify a second Indian supplier to reduce dependency risk.
§9.1 Single-source dependencies

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MUBARAK HASHIMI LTD | Afghanistan | KERK | $1K | 2 | MEDIUM |

| GULF PHARMACIES W.L.L | Bahrain | MILTON LIFECARE … | $0 | 1 | MEDIUM |
| YUSRA BRIGHT TRADING… | United Arab Emirates | CIPLA LTD | $0 | 1 | MEDIUM |
Conclusion: 8 buyers depend on exactly one Indian supplier, representing $2K in trade. For suppliers: each row is a competitor’s locked-in customer you can target.
§9.2 Multi-source resilience
| Buyer | Country | Suppliers | USD | Dominant | Resilience |
|---|
Conclusion: 0 of these buyers have HIGH resilience (3+ active suppliers). These are the hardest accounts to win but safest partners for long-term contracts.

Strategic Opportunities & Action Plan
Market entry playbook and risk landscape by destination country
KEY TAKEAWAY
15 target markets with specific entry approaches. Large suppliers: focus on regulated Tier 1 markets. Small/mid-size: start with Tier 2–3 (low barrier, growing demand).
§9.3 Sourcing recommendations · Table 9.1
| Country | Tier | Lead | Price | Risk | Entry approach |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Afghanistan | Tier 3 (emerging) | 14–28 days (sea) | $1–$10/unit | LOW | First-mover advantage |
| Zambia | Tier 3 (emerging) | 3–5 days (air) | $1–$10/unit | LOW | First-mover advantage |
| Papua New Guinea | Tier 3 (emerging) | 3–5 days (air) | $1–$10/unit | LOW | First-mover advantage |
| Uganda | Tier 3 (emerging) | 3–5 days (air) | $1–$10/unit | LOW | First-mover advantage |
| Cameroon | Tier 3 (emerging) | 3–5 days (air) | $1–$10/unit | LOW | First-mover advantage |
| Seychelles | Tier 3 (emerging) | 3–5 days (air) | $1–$10/unit | LOW | First-mover advantage |
| United Arab Emirates | Tier 3 (emerging) | 3–5 days (air) | $1–$10/unit | LOW | First-mover advantage |
| Bahrain | Tier 3 (emerging) | 3–5 days (air) | $0.01–$0.10/unit | LOW | First-mover advantage |
For suppliers: Tier 1 markets (US, UK, France) require regulatory investment but offer premium pricing. Tier 3 markets (emerging) have low barriers — ideal for first-time exporters. For buyers: Use the price band and lead time to benchmark your current supplier’s terms.
Fig 9.2 0 markets in the Growth Opportunity zone (competitive + growing). 6 in Fragile Dependency (concentrated + shrinking).
Source: TransData Nexus Pharma Trade Intelligence · Licensed database & govt sources
How to read: Each bubble = one destination. X-axis = HHI (concentration). Y-axis = growth %. Bubble size = USD. Green zone (top-left) = Growth Opportunity — competitive markets that are growing, best for new entrants. Red zone (bottom-right) = Fragile Dependency — concentrated + shrinking, high supply-chain risk. Conclusion: Key markets are the top growth opportunities.
