India to Turkey: Salbutamol Export Trade Route

The India to Turkey Salbutamol corridor is one of India's established pharmaceutical export routes, with 120 shipments documented worth a combined $2.7M USD. The route is dominated by CIPLA LIMITED, which alone accounts for roughly 96% of all export value, reflecting the consolidated nature of India's salbutamol manufacturing sector.

Across 17 active suppliers, the average shipment value stands at $22.4K USD — a figure that reflects both bulk commercial orders from large pharmaceutical companies and smaller specialty shipments. Sea freight dominates at 85% of all shipments, consistent with salbutamol's non-urgent bulk-order profile.

Shipment activity peaks during July–September, with an average transit time of 20 days port-to-port. The route has recorded an annual growth rate of 24.8%, placing it at rank #14 among India's top salbutamol export destinations globally.

On the import side, key buyers of Indian salbutamol in Turkey include PAYAZ BIOMEDIKAL VE TIBBI CIHAZLAR, ROZ LOGISTICS PALMIYE MAHALLESI, HIGEN COMPANY and 25 others. PAYAZ BIOMEDIKAL VE TIBBI CIHAZLAR is the single largest importer with 69 shipments valued at $2.5M USD.

India's salbutamol exports to Turkey are driven primarily by a handful of large-scale manufacturers. CIPLA LIMITED with 72 shipments leads the pack, a pattern common in generic pharmaceutical corridors where manufacturing scale creates significant cost advantages. The presence of 17 active exporters signals a competitive but concentrated market — buyers in Turkey benefit from supplier diversity while the top tier handles the majority of volume.

The top 3 suppliers — CIPLA LIMITED, MEDCELL PHARMA, LABORATE PHARMACEUTICALS INDIA LIMITED — together account for 98% of total trade value on this route. The average shipment value of $22.4K 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 asthalin cfc free inhaler salbutamol 100mcg 1x200md/pack 58418 pack and asthalin cfc free inhaler salbutamol 100mcg 1x200md/pack 58370 pack, suggesting that buyers in Turkey tend to consolidate orders across related product lines from the same Indian supplier.

On the buying side, PAYAZ BIOMEDIKAL VE TIBBI CIHAZLAR is the largest importer with 69 shipments worth $2.5M USD — representing 93% of all salbutamol imports from India on this route. A total of 28 buyers are active on this corridor.
