India to Russia: Ciprofloxacin Export Trade Route

The India to Russia Ciprofloxacin corridor is one of India's established pharmaceutical export routes, with 235 shipments documented worth a combined $21.2M USD. The route is dominated by SUN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED, which alone accounts for roughly 54% of all export value, reflecting the consolidated nature of India's ciprofloxacin manufacturing sector.

Across 11 active suppliers, the average shipment value stands at $90.4K USD — a figure that reflects both bulk commercial orders from large pharmaceutical companies and smaller specialty shipments. Sea freight dominates at 80% of all shipments, consistent with ciprofloxacin's non-urgent bulk-order profile.

Shipment activity peaks during April–June, with an average transit time of 30 days port-to-port. The route has recorded an annual growth rate of 24.6%, placing it at rank #6 among India's top ciprofloxacin export destinations globally.

On the import side, key buyers of Indian ciprofloxacin in Russia include AO RANBAXY, LLC SENTISS RUS, AO "RANBAXY" and 13 others. AO RANBAXY is the single largest importer with 84 shipments valued at $8.3M USD.

India's ciprofloxacin exports to Russia are driven primarily by a handful of large-scale manufacturers. SUN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED with 101 shipments leads the pack, a pattern common in generic pharmaceutical corridors where manufacturing scale creates significant cost advantages. The presence of 11 active exporters signals a competitive but concentrated market — buyers in Russia benefit from supplier diversity while the top tier handles the majority of volume.

The top 3 suppliers — SUN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED, SENTISS PHARMA PRIVATE LIMITED, SUN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LTD — together account for 96% of total trade value on this route. The average shipment value of $90.4K USD reflects primarily bulk commercial orders from large pharmaceutical distributors.
