$25.9B · trade warehouse Indicative

The PharmaDB warehouse tracks $25.9B in declared API trade across 1,817 active exporters and 1,693 distinct molecules in the trailing 24 months. Hetero Labs leads with $1.7B across 162 molecules; Cadila, MSN, Cipla, and Dr Reddy's all clear $700M. Read this as the supply-side spend cube — the inventory a buyer benchmarks their own sourcing against.

Save the spend analytics.

Citation-anchored brief with the top suppliers, the molecules where you have leverage, and the categories flagged for negotiation.

Why a buyer runs it

The spend layer for category management.

Multi-axis aggregation.

Spend cube across molecule × origin × supplier. Slice by any axis or any combination. The full inventory of your procurement.

Leverage opportunities surfaced.

Molecules with concentrated spend but fragmented supplier base are flagged. These are the categories where consolidation drives leverage.

Concentration risks flagged.

Suppliers holding over 30% of category spend, origins holding over 60% of a molecule's supply — surfaced as risk markers.

Trade-data validated.

Built from trade aggregates. Internal ERP optional — when supplied, cross-validated against the warehouse for completeness.

The supply-side spend cube totals $25.9B in declared trade across 1,817 active exporters and 1,693 distinct molecules in the trailing 24 months. Hetero Labs is the largest single exporter at $1.7B across 162 molecules; the top three combine for 14% of total trade. The long tail is deep — 1,800+ exporters share the remaining 86% — which means leverage exists for buyers willing to qualify outside the top names.

The spend cube is the category-management foundation. PharmaDB aggregates procurement spend across molecule × origin × supplier, computes concentration and leverage metrics, and surfaces the categories where consolidation or diversification drives value. The view is company_trade_exports_by_molecule; the join is to global_companies and the molecule catalog.

FAQ

Frequently asked

What goes into the spend cube?+

Three primary dimensions: molecule, origin country, supplier. Spend is aggregated from customs export records (when ERP is not supplied) or cross-validated against ERP transactions (when supplied). The cube refreshes on the same cadence as the underlying tables.

Do I need to upload my internal ERP data?+

No. PharmaDB can build the cube from trade aggregates alone, using your supplier list as the entity filter. ERP upload improves completeness — internal small-volume transactions not in customs become visible — but is optional.

How is leverage computed?+

Spend concentration on a molecule (your spend divided by the molecule's global supplier base size) versus supplier fragmentation (your top supplier's share). Categories where you spend a lot but no single supplier dominates are flagged as leverage opportunities.

How is concentration risk flagged?+

Two thresholds: a supplier holding over 30% of category spend triggers a supplier concentration flag. An origin country holding over 60% of a molecule's supply triggers a geographic concentration flag. Both flags surface inline with the affected molecules.

How fresh is the data?+

Trade aggregates refresh weekly. The cube recomputes on every refresh. ERP-supplied transactions are matched to the cube at upload; the catalog row carries the refresh timestamp.

Can this run on FDF procurement?+

Yes. The same methodology applies to API, FDF, and intermediates procurement. FDF lanes add pack-size normalisation to the spend calculation; the cube remains the same shape.
