2025 Apr Colombia Ferro-alloys (HS7202) Export Snapshot: Volumes Up

April Trend: Colombia Ferro-alloys Export

Ferro-alloys, classified under HS Code 7202 (Ferro-alloys), saw mixed trends in April, with unit prices dropping 6.18% MoM to $3.22/kg despite a 5.68% rise in export value ($43.91M USD) and a 12.64% increase in volume (13.64M kg). The decline in prices contrasts with March’s rebound, suggesting potential market oversupply or softening demand.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

China dominates Colombia's ferro-alloys exports, accounting for 72% of value and weight, indicating a balanced trade structure without a significant value-volume gap.
