India has firmly established itself as the “pharmacy of the world.” With pharmaceutical exports surpassing USD 27 billion in 2023 and projected to rise steadily in the coming years, the country’s pharma industry is playing a transformative role in global healthcare. Astra Labs, an ISO 9001:2015 certified pharmaceutical company, is a proud contributor to this global success, ensuring access to high-quality, affordable medicines across continents.
India’s Global Pharma Footprint
As the third-largest pharmaceutical producer by volume and the world’s largest supplier of generic drugs, India has become a trusted source of affordable healthcare solutions. Indian pharmaceutical exports reach over 200 countries, including tightly regulated markets such as the United States, United Kingdom, European Union, and Canada.
Key export categories include:
- Generic formulations

This vast export portfolio demonstrates the breadth and depth of India’s manufacturing and regulatory capabilities.
What’s Driving India’s Export Growth?
India’s pharmaceutical export boom is fueled by several critical growth factors:
- Cost-Effective Manufacturing: India’s ability to produce high-quality drugs at a fraction of the cost makes it globally competitive.

- Regulatory Compliance: Indian firms consistently meet global standards, enabling easier market entry into developed economies.
