2025 Jun Colombia Coal (HS 2701) Export Snapshot: Volumes Dip

June Trend: Colombia Coal Export

Coal, classified under HS Code 2701 (Coal; briquettes, ovoids and similar solid fuels manufactured from coal), saw mixed trends in June, with unit prices rising 5.71% MoM to $0.09/kg despite a 25.75% drop in export value to $337.32M. Shipments fell 29.76% to 3.96B kg, reflecting volatility after May's surge in volume. The rebound in prices failed to offset the sharp decline in both value and weight, signaling weaker demand or logistical adjustments. No specific external events were tied to the shift. Colombia's coal exports remain highly variable month-to-month, with June's performance marking a retreat from May's highs.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Chile dominates Colombia's coal exports with a 12.97% value share but only a 12.42% weight share, signaling a slight premium for higher-grade coal. India, however, shows a Value-Volume Gap—15.79% weight share vs. 10.22% value share—revealing its role as a bulk hub for raw material processing. The overall structure leans toward cost-efficiency, with high-frequency, mid-value partners like Brazil and Turkey balancing volume and margin. Strategic focus remains on bulk buyers, with limited premium market penetration.

yTrade data reveals HS Code 2701120010 dominates Colombia's coal exports, capturing 95.9% frequency and 95.7% volume—pointing to a bulk-driven market where scale trumps unit price differentiation.
