Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

The United States dominates Colombia's plastic packaging exports, accounting for 25% of value but only 15% of weight, signaling a premium market demanding high-grade or finished products. In contrast, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands show a bulk hub pattern (12.75% weight share vs. 11.44% value), likely serving as a transshipment or processing node. The Northern Mariana Islands stand out with 21.78% weight share but only 7.79% value, reinforcing low-margin, high-volume trade. This structure reveals a dual strategy: premium exports to the U.S. and cost-driven bulk flows to secondary hubs. The supply chain is optimized for both value capture and scale efficiency.
