The route is dominated by MICRO LABS LIMITED, which alone accounts for roughly 84% of all export value, reflecting the consolidated nature of India's sulfamethoxazole manufacturing sector.

Across 3 active suppliers, the average shipment value stands at $27.3K 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 sulfamethoxazole's non-urgent bulk-order profile.

India's sulfamethoxazole exports to Sudan are driven primarily by a handful of large-scale manufacturers. MICRO LABS LIMITED with 20 shipments leads the pack, a pattern common in generic pharmaceutical corridors where manufacturing scale creates significant cost advantages.

The top 3 suppliers — MICRO LABS LIMITED, CIPLA LIMITED , MANEESH PHARMACEUTICALS LIMITED — together account for 100% of total trade value on this route. The average shipment value of $27.3K USD reflects a mix of bulk commercial orders and smaller specialty shipments.
