Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Colombia's petroleum coke exports are heavily concentrated in the UNITED STATES, which accounts for 36.65% of value but only 16.52% of weight, signaling a premium market demanding higher-grade or specialized coke. In contrast, CHINA MAINLAND dominates volume (61.23% of weight) but captures just 15.65% of value, acting as a bulk hub for low-margin raw material processing. This value-volume gap reveals a dual strategy: high-value exports to the U.S. and mass-volume shipments to China, optimizing for both premium returns and scale efficiency. The supply chain is bifurcated—prioritizing quality for key markets while leveraging China’s capacity for bulk handling.
