Although India surpasses China when it comes to pharmaceutica exports, it is still largely dependent on China for its raw materials and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). According to the Pharmaceutical Export Promotion Council of India, the country exported pharma products worth of $19.2 billion in financial year 2018-19, posting a record year-on-year growth of 11%.
