Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
Ecuador dominates Colombia's pharmaceutical exports with 20.26% value share but only 18.74% weight share, signaling demand for higher-value finished products. Chile, however, shows a stark Value-Volume Gap—32.01% weight share vs. 4.94% value share—revealing its role as a bulk hub for raw materials. The US and El Salvador, with high value-to-weight ratios, are premium markets for specialized drugs. This structure highlights a dual-track supply chain: cost-driven bulk flows to regional hubs (Chile, Dominican Republic) and high-margin exports to niche markets. Colombia’s trade is strategically split between volume efficiency and premium segmentation.
