Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands dominate Colombia's pharmaceutical exports, accounting for 27.87% of value but 28.45% of weight, indicating a bulk hub role—likely re-exporting raw or intermediate goods. The value-volume gap narrows sharply in premium markets like the U.S. Virgin Islands (6.81% value vs. 1.76% weight), revealing demand for high-grade products. This dual structure suggests a cost-driven supply chain, prioritizing bulk logistics for commoditized segments while niche markets absorb higher-value output. Strategic focus should balance efficiency with premium market penetration.
