India to Kenya: Darunavir Export Trade Route

The India to Kenya Darunavir corridor is one of India's established pharmaceutical export routes, with 15 shipments documented worth a combined $6.1M USD. The route is dominated by HETERO LABS LIMITED, which alone accounts for roughly 54% of all export value, reflecting the consolidated nature of India's darunavir manufacturing sector.

Across 4 active suppliers, the average shipment value stands at $408.4K USD — a figure that reflects both bulk commercial orders from large pharmaceutical companies and smaller specialty shipments. Sea freight dominates at 77% of all shipments, consistent with darunavir's non-urgent bulk-order profile.

Shipment activity peaks during January–March, with an average transit time of 34 days port-to-port. The route has recorded an annual growth rate of 16.7%, placing it at rank #10 among India's top darunavir export destinations globally.

On the import side, key buyers of Indian darunavir in Kenya include USAID UGANDA, NATIONAL MEDICAL STORES, TO THE ORDER and 2 others. USAID UGANDA is the single largest importer with 2 shipments valued at $2.2M USD.

India's darunavir exports to Kenya are driven primarily by a handful of large-scale manufacturers. HETERO LABS LIMITED with 6 shipments leads the pack, a pattern common in generic pharmaceutical corridors where manufacturing scale creates significant cost advantages. The presence of 4 active exporters signals a competitive but concentrated market — buyers in Kenya benefit from supplier diversity while the top tier handles the majority of volume.

The top 3 suppliers — HETERO LABS LIMITED, HETERO LABS LIMITED, MYLAN LABORATORIES LIMITED — together account for 90% of total trade value on this route. The average shipment value of $408.4K USD reflects primarily bulk commercial orders from large pharmaceutical distributors.

Beyond the primary product category, shipments on this route include closely related formulations such as darunavir+ritonavir 400mg+50mg tablet 60s and darunavir tabs green card no.518/vsezdt. 15.03.06 valid up to 14.03.2026, suggesting that buyers in Kenya tend to consolidate orders across related product lines from the same Indian supplier.

On the buying side, USAID UGANDA is the largest importer with 2 shipments worth $2.2M USD — representing 36% of all darunavir imports from India on this route.
