Among the top 20 Russian exporting companies with the biggest export volume in monetary terms, Avexima has the highest dynamics (a 26 times increase.) It is followed by Promomed, with an 11 times increase. Ozon has the lowest dynamics (-39%), followed by Institute of Poliomyelitis and Viral Encephalitis n.a. M. Chumakov (-37%.) The latter, despite the fall, remains one of the leading exporters.
