India to Tanzania: Nifedipine Export Trade Route

The India to Tanzania Nifedipine corridor is one of India's established pharmaceutical export routes, with 79 shipments documented worth a combined $1.3M USD. The route is dominated by UMEDICA LABORATORIES PRIVATE LIMITED, which alone accounts for roughly 33% of all export value, reflecting the consolidated nature of India's nifedipine manufacturing sector.

Across 21 active suppliers, the average shipment value stands at $16.6K USD — a figure that reflects both bulk commercial orders from large pharmaceutical companies and smaller specialty shipments. Sea freight dominates at 83% of all shipments, consistent with nifedipine's non-urgent bulk-order profile.

Shipment activity peaks during July–September, with an average transit time of 29 days port-to-port. The route has recorded an annual growth rate of 24.0%, placing it at rank #9 among India's top nifedipine export destinations globally.

On the import side, key buyers of Indian nifedipine in Tanzania include P & G PHARMACEUTICALS LTD, MEDICAL STORES DEPARTMENT OFF NYERERE RD, ABACUS PHARMA (A) LTD and 28 others. P & G PHARMACEUTICALS LTD is the single largest importer with 3 shipments valued at $278.4K USD.

India's nifedipine exports to Tanzania are driven primarily by a handful of large-scale manufacturers. UMEDICA LABORATORIES PRIVATE LIMITED with 6 shipments leads the pack, a pattern common in generic pharmaceutical corridors where manufacturing scale creates significant cost advantages. The presence of 21 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 — UMEDICA LABORATORIES PRIVATE LIMITED, LINCOLN PHARMACEUTICALS LTD, ZYDUS LIFESCIENCES LIMITED — together account for 65% of total trade value on this route. The average shipment value of $16.6K 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 nifedipine retard 20 (nifedipine extended release tablets usp 20mg.) (box of 10x10 tablets) and nifedipine sustained release tablets nepin sr-2093260x10x10 tab, suggesting that buyers in Tanzania tend to consolidate orders across related product lines from the same Indian supplier.

On the buying side, P & G PHARMACEUTICALS LTD is the largest importer with 3 shipments worth $278.4K USD — representing 21% of all nifedipine imports from India on this route. A total of 31 buyers are active on this corridor.
