UN Comtrade 2024, reported by each country (exports by exporters, imports by importers), all partners. Some countries (for example Russia and Iran) do not report, so their shares are missing. HS codes can be broader than the tile: check the code before reading a share as the whole market.

How it moves
Lyophilised powder in sealed containers, often cold chain, by air
Routes and chokepoints

Handling in transit
Generally not dangerous goods; temperature control for stability.
