India to Uganda: Artemether Export Trade Route

The India to Uganda Artemether corridor is one of India's established pharmaceutical export routes, with 287 shipments documented worth a combined $12.9M USD. The route is dominated by S K AGE EXPORTS, which alone accounts for roughly 16% of all export value, reflecting the consolidated nature of India's artemether manufacturing sector.

Across 28 active suppliers, the average shipment value stands at $44.9K USD — a figure that reflects both bulk commercial orders from large pharmaceutical companies and smaller specialty shipments. Sea freight dominates at 72% of all shipments, consistent with artemether's non-urgent bulk-order profile.

Shipment activity peaks during July–September, with an average transit time of 31 days port-to-port. The route has recorded an annual growth rate of 24.4%, placing it at rank #19 among India's top artemether export destinations globally.

On the import side, key buyers of Indian artemether in Uganda include NATIONAL MEDICAL STORES, TO THE ORDER, TO THE ORDER and 55 others. NATIONAL MEDICAL STORES is the single largest importer with 6 shipments valued at $2.4M USD.

India's artemether exports to Uganda are driven primarily by a handful of large-scale manufacturers. S K AGE EXPORTS with 34 shipments leads the pack, a pattern common in generic pharmaceutical corridors where manufacturing scale creates significant cost advantages. The presence of 28 active exporters signals a competitive but concentrated market — buyers in Uganda benefit from supplier diversity while the top tier handles the majority of volume.

The top 3 suppliers — S K AGE EXPORTS, STRIDES PHARMA SCIENCE LIMITED, AJANTA PHARMA LIMITED — together account for 39% of total trade value on this route. The average shipment value of $44.9K USD reflects a mix of bulk commercial orders and smaller specialty shipments.

Beyond the primary product category, shipments on this route include closely related formulations such as harmless medicine-artemether 20mg + lume and harmless medicine-artemether 20mg + lume, suggesting that buyers in Uganda tend to consolidate orders across related product lines from the same Indian supplier.

On the buying side, NATIONAL MEDICAL STORES is the largest importer with 6 shipments worth $2.4M USD — representing 19% of all artemether imports from India on this route. A total of 58 buyers are active on this corridor.
