The India to Myanmar Imipenem corridor is one of India's established pharmaceutical export routes, with 52 shipments documented worth a combined $2.0M USD. The route is dominated by M J BIOPHARM PRIVATE LIMITED, which alone accounts for roughly 33% of all export value, reflecting the consolidated nature of India's imipenem manufacturing sector.

Across 23 active suppliers, the average shipment value stands at $38.7K USD — a figure that reflects both bulk commercial orders from large pharmaceutical companies and smaller specialty shipments. Sea freight dominates at 79% of all shipments, consistent with imipenem's non-urgent bulk-order profile.

Shipment activity peaks during April–June, with an average transit time of 28 days port-to-port. The route has recorded an annual growth rate of 25.1%, placing it at rank #12 among India's top imipenem export destinations globally.

M J BIOPHARM PRIVATE LIMITED with 6 shipments leads the pack, a pattern common in generic pharmaceutical corridors where manufacturing scale creates significant cost advantages.

The top 3 suppliers — M J BIOPHARM PRIVATE LIMITED, SUN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LIMITED, SUN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES LTD — together account for 72% of total trade value on this route. The average shipment value of $38.7K USD reflects a mix of bulk commercial orders and smaller specialty shipments.
