India to Uganda: Artesunate Export Trade Route

The India to Uganda Artesunate corridor is one of India's established pharmaceutical export routes, with 116 shipments documented worth a combined $5.5M USD. The route is dominated by SCOTT EDIL PHARMACIA LIMITED, which alone accounts for roughly 31% of all export value, reflecting the consolidated nature of India's artesunate manufacturing sector.

Across 21 active suppliers, the average shipment value stands at $47.8K USD — a figure that reflects both bulk commercial orders from large pharmaceutical companies and smaller specialty shipments. Sea freight dominates at 71% of all shipments, consistent with artesunate's non-urgent bulk-order profile.

Shipment activity peaks during October–December, with an average transit time of 18 days port-to-port. The route has recorded an annual growth rate of 29.7%, placing it at rank #14 among India's top artesunate export destinations globally.

On the import side, key buyers of Indian artesunate in Uganda include ROYAL PHARMA 2011 LIMITED , Novomed Healthcare Limited, TO THE ORDER and 37 others. ROYAL PHARMA 2011 LIMITED is the single largest importer with 3 shipments valued at $435.1K USD.

India's artesunate exports to Uganda are driven primarily by a handful of large-scale manufacturers. SCOTT EDIL PHARMACIA LIMITED with 29 shipments leads the pack, a pattern common in generic pharmaceutical corridors where manufacturing scale creates significant cost advantages. The presence of 21 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 — SCOTT EDIL PHARMACIA LIMITED, SCOTT EDIL PHARMACIA LIMITED , SUPARSHVA RATNA SHRI INC — together account for 62% of total trade value on this route. The average shipment value of $47.8K 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 artesunate-60 inj artesunate for inject and artesunate injection 60mg powder for injection (bidibidi - white label) (1x1's)(168090 pack), suggesting that buyers in Uganda tend to consolidate orders across related product lines from the same Indian supplier.

On the buying side, ROYAL PHARMA 2011 LIMITED is the largest importer with 3 shipments worth $435.1K USD — representing 8% of all artesunate imports from India on this route. A total of 40 buyers are active on this corridor.
