Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

The United States dominates Colombia's plastic packaging exports, accounting for 30.07% of value but only 16.62% of weight, revealing a premium market demanding high-grade or specialized products. In contrast, Ecuador and Panama show a bulk hub pattern (Ecuador: 12.48% value vs. 13.92% weight; Panama: 7.90% value vs. 19.21% weight), suggesting processing or re-export roles. The value-volume gap highlights a dual strategy: premium exports to the U.S. and cost-efficient bulk flows to regional hubs, optimizing for both margin and scale.
