Tier 2

API & Excipients Manufacturing

Indicative CAPEX

$50M – $200M

Market position

Zero

EAC production capacity today

No active pharmaceutical ingredient is manufactured at commercial scale anywhere in the East African Community today. An API or excipients plant at MPMED-SEZ would be the first in the region, supplying both Tanzania's formulation plants and export markets across EAC and SADC. Strategic investors at this tier qualify for the Bagamoyo greenfield site and enhanced structuring support from PIAT.

Why this tier

  • First-mover position: zero EAC API capacity exists today
  • Feedstock for Tier 1 formulation plants inside the same zone
  • Bagamoyo greenfield site available for USD 50M+ strategic projects
