Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
Brazil dominates Colombia's polypropylene polymers exports, accounting for 64.5% of weight but only 62.83% of value, indicating a slight bulk hub role—likely supplying raw materials for further processing. The value-volume gap narrows for secondary markets like Mexico (12.58% weight vs. 13.06% value), suggesting marginally higher-value demand. The absence of extreme premium markets implies a cost-driven supply chain, prioritizing mass logistics over niche specialization. Strategic focus remains on high-volume, low-margin trade flows.
