India to Guatemala: Ibuprofen Export Trade Route

The India to Guatemala Ibuprofen corridor is one of India's established pharmaceutical export routes, with 134 shipments documented worth a combined $4.9M USD. The route is dominated by CAPLIN POINT LABORATORIES LIMITED, which alone accounts for roughly 95% of all export value, reflecting the consolidated nature of India's ibuprofen manufacturing sector.

Across 16 active suppliers, the average shipment value stands at $36.7K USD — a figure that reflects both bulk commercial orders from large pharmaceutical companies and smaller specialty shipments. Sea freight dominates at 74% of all shipments, consistent with ibuprofen's non-urgent bulk-order profile.

Shipment activity peaks during July–September, with an average transit time of 27 days port-to-port. The route has recorded an annual growth rate of 22.3%, placing it at rank #11 among India's top ibuprofen export destinations globally.

On the import side, key buyers of Indian ibuprofen in Guatemala include NUEVOS ETICOS NEOETHICALS S A, NUEVOS ETICOS NEOETHICALS, S.A., FARMA SOLUTION SOCIEDAD ANONIMA and 17 others. NUEVOS ETICOS NEOETHICALS S A is the single largest importer with 46 shipments valued at $2.6M USD.

India's ibuprofen exports to Guatemala are driven primarily by a handful of large-scale manufacturers. CAPLIN POINT LABORATORIES LIMITED with 98 shipments leads the pack, a pattern common in generic pharmaceutical corridors where manufacturing scale creates significant cost advantages. The presence of 16 active exporters signals a competitive but concentrated market — buyers in Guatemala benefit from supplier diversity while the top tier handles the majority of volume.

The top 3 suppliers — CAPLIN POINT LABORATORIES LIMITED, BALAXI VENTURES LIMITED, ASMOH LABORATORIES LTD — together account for 97% of total trade value on this route. The average shipment value of $36.7K 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 ibuwin 600 ibuprofen soft gelatin capsules 600mg and ibuwin forte ibuprofen soft gelatin capsules 800mg, suggesting that buyers in Guatemala tend to consolidate orders across related product lines from the same Indian supplier.

On the buying side, NUEVOS ETICOS NEOETHICALS S A is the largest importer with 46 shipments worth $2.6M USD — representing 53% of all ibuprofen imports from India on this route. A total of 20 buyers are active on this corridor.
