India to Tanzania: Gentamicin Export Trade Route

The India to Tanzania Gentamicin corridor is one of India's established pharmaceutical export routes, with 159 shipments documented worth a combined $9.5M USD. The route is dominated by LINCOLN PHARMACEUTICALS LTD, which alone accounts for roughly 62% of all export value, reflecting the consolidated nature of India's gentamicin manufacturing sector.

Across 33 active suppliers, the average shipment value stands at $59.7K 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 gentamicin's non-urgent bulk-order profile.

Shipment activity peaks during July–September, with an average transit time of 17 days port-to-port. The route has recorded an annual growth rate of 27.3%, placing it at rank #8 among India's top gentamicin export destinations globally.

On the import side, key buyers of Indian gentamicin in Tanzania include HEKO PHARMACY LTD, TO THE ORDER, TO THE ORDER and 42 others. HEKO PHARMACY LTD is the single largest importer with 19 shipments valued at $5.9M USD.

India's gentamicin exports to Tanzania are driven primarily by a handful of large-scale manufacturers. LINCOLN PHARMACEUTICALS LTD with 21 shipments leads the pack, a pattern common in generic pharmaceutical corridors where manufacturing scale creates significant cost advantages. The presence of 33 active exporters signals a competitive but concentrated market — buyers in Tanzania benefit from supplier diversity while the top tier handles the majority of volume.

The top 3 suppliers — LINCOLN PHARMACEUTICALS LTD, S K AGE EXPORTS, BLUE CROSS LABORATORIES PRIVATE LIMITED — together account for 83% of total trade value on this route. The average shipment value of $59.7K 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 sonaderm gm cream x 10 gm (bulk drug: clobetasol propionate bp 0.05% w/w miconazole nitrate bp 2 % w/w gentamicin sulpha and harmless medicines - betamethasone dipropionate, clotrimazole and gentamicin sulfate cream (skderm cream) unit : 30 gm, suggesting that buyers in Tanzania tend to consolidate orders across related product lines from the same Indian supplier.

On the buying side, HEKO PHARMACY LTD is the largest importer with 19 shipments worth $5.9M USD — representing 62% of all gentamicin imports from India on this route. A total of 45 buyers are active on this corridor.
