The route is dominated by GLAND PHARMA LIMITED , which alone accounts for roughly 37% of all export value, reflecting the consolidated nature of India's iron manufacturing sector.

Across 28 active suppliers, the average shipment value stands at $17.9K 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 iron's non-urgent bulk-order profile.
