Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

The U.S. dominates Colombia’s plastic packaging exports, accounting for 23% of value but only 14.7% of weight, signaling a premium market for high-grade or finished goods. In contrast, Venezuela and Panama show weight-heavy trade (20.6% and 12.2% weight share vs. 10.7% and 5.2% value share), acting as bulk hubs for raw or low-value shipments. Germany’s 16.5% quantity share but just 4% value share further highlights a cost-driven, volume-focused supply chain. The structure reveals Colombia’s export strategy prioritizes premium markets (U.S.) while leveraging bulk routes (Venezuela/Panama) for mass distribution.
