Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
Ecuador dominates Colombia's pharmaceutical exports, accounting for 23.5% of value but 25.9% of weight, revealing a slight bulk-leaning trade (Weight >> Value) as a regional processing hub. However, high-value outliers like El Salvador (6.7% value vs. 0.7% weight) signal premium demand for specialized products. The structure skews toward cost-efficient bulk distribution, with Chile’s 36% weight share (vs. 6.9% value) further emphasizing raw material flows. Strategic focus remains on volume-driven markets, balancing high-margin niches.
