Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
Mexico dominates Colombia's plastic sheets exports, accounting for 17.7% of value but 18.4% of weight—a near-parity gap suggesting balanced trade in mid-range products. However, Chile and the U.S. show premium leanings (value shares > weight shares), indicating demand for higher-grade specifications, while Guatemala (12.9% weight vs. 9.9% value) acts as a bulk hub for cost-sensitive shipments. The absence of extreme gaps implies a supply chain optimized for regional diversification rather than premium specialization, with Latin America serving as both a production and consumption base for mid-tier plastic sheets.
