India is the world's largest supplier of generic drugs, known as the "World Pharmaceutical Factory", but its drug production is highly dependent on the import of active pharmaceutical ingredients such as active pharmaceutical ingredients from China. In 2019, India's API imports accounted for 70% of total demand, and the import of certain core ingredients even reached 95%.
As China's API production capacity and logistics have not yet fully recovered, India's domestic API prices rose by an average of 10% in February. The prices of some essential vitamins and penicillin have even increased by nearly 50%, and there is a considerable risk of supply disruption. To ensure domestic supply, India also had to take the chance that local pharmaceutical companies would be "pulled" by international buyers to limit the export of APIs, and the risk of India's supply shutdown also, in turn, caused extreme panic in the global market for drug shortages.
