Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
The U.S. dominates Colombia’s plastic sheets exports, accounting for 21.5% of value but only 20.5% of weight, signaling a premium market demand for higher-grade or specialized products. Chile and Mexico follow, with Chile’s 15.9% value share outpacing its 13.2% weight share, reinforcing a focus on value-driven trade. In contrast, Guatemala’s near-parity (9.2% value vs. 10.7% weight) suggests a bulk hub role for raw materials. The U.S. Virgin Islands and South Georgia, despite low volume, show disproportionate value retention, likely due to re-export or niche applications. The structure reveals a split strategy: premium markets (U.S.) absorb high-value output, while regional partners (Guatemala) handle bulk flows, optimizing for cost over speed.
