Japan to India: Syringe Import Trade Route

The Japan to India Syringe corridor is one of India's established pharmaceutical import routes from Japan, with 1,266 shipments documented worth a combined $724.8K USD. The route is dominated by SHOFU INC , which alone accounts for roughly 40% of all import value, reflecting the consolidated nature of Japan's syringe export sector.

Across 8 active Japan suppliers, the average shipment value stands at $572 USD — a figure that reflects both bulk commercial orders from large pharmaceutical companies and smaller specialty shipments. Sea freight dominates at 73% of all shipments, consistent with syringe's non-urgent bulk-order profile.

Shipment activity peaks during April–June, with an average transit time of 16 days port-to-port. The route has recorded an annual growth rate of 22.5%, placing it at rank #8 among India's top syringe import origins globally.

On the Indian buyer side, key Indian importers include SHOFU DENTAL INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED , ROCHE PRODUCTS (INDIA) PRIVATE LIMITED , GC INDIA DENTAL PRIVATE LIMITED and 6 others. SHOFU DENTAL INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED is the single largest Indian importer with 885 shipments valued at $335.4K USD.

India's syringe imports from Japan are driven primarily by a handful of large-scale Japan manufacturers. SHOFU INC with 761 shipments leads the pack, a pattern common in generic pharmaceutical corridors where manufacturing scale creates significant cost advantages. The presence of 8 active exporters signals a competitive but concentrated market — Indian buyers benefit from Japan supplier diversity while the top tier handles the majority of volume.

The top 3 suppliers — SHOFU INC , F. HOFFMANN -LA ROCHE LTD, SHOFU INC — together account for 79% of total trade value on this route. The average shipment value of $572 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 beautifil ii 4.5g a2 syringe 1pc (dental filling material) and beautifil flow f02 2g a2 syringe 1pc (dental filling material) , suggesting that Indian buyers tend to consolidate orders across related product lines from the same Japan supplier.

On the buying side, SHOFU DENTAL INDIA PRIVATE LIMITED is the largest importer with 885 shipments worth $335.4K USD — representing 46% of all syringe imports from Japan on this route. A total of 9 buyers are active on this corridor.
