2025 Q3 Colombia Pharmaceutical products (HS3004) Export Snapshot: Price Jump
Q3 Trend: Colombia Pharmaceutical products Export
Pharmaceutical products, classified under HS Code 3004 (Medicaments (excluding goods of heading 3002, 3005 or 3006) consisting of mixed or unmixed products for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, put up in measured doses or in forms or packings for retail sale.), saw exports rebound in September with a 32% surge in unit prices to $8.40/kg, pushing total value up 19% MoM to $38.92M despite a 9.6% drop in volume. This follows August’s 10.5% decline in both value and unit price, suggesting volatile demand or pricing adjustments. Colombia’s recent tax reimbursement decree for exports may have influenced the recovery, though volumes remain below Q2 peaks. The quarter closed with mixed signals: July’s steady growth (+9.5% value) contrasted with August’s slump before September’s rally. Year-to-date, exports show a 112% weight increase since January, but unit prices are down 27% from the $9.20/kg starting point.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
Ecuador dominates Colombia's pharmaceutical exports, accounting for 21.26% of value but only 18.48% of weight, signaling demand for higher-value finished products. In contrast, Chile’s 38.28% weight share dwarfs its 7.05% value share, revealing a bulk hub role for raw materials. The pattern suggests a dual strategy: premium markets (Ecuador, El Salvador) and cost-driven bulk trade (Chile, Peru). Supply chains prioritize efficiency, with weight-heavy flows offsetting lower margins. Colombia Pharmaceutical products Export destinations hinge on this value-volume gap—high-grade demand in some, commoditized volume in others.
