2025 Mar Colombia Polypropylene polymers (HS 3902) Export Snapshot: Surge in Volume

March Trend: Colombia Polypropylene polymers Export

Polypropylene polymers, classified under HS Code 3902 (Polymers of propylene or of other olefins, in primary forms), rebounded sharply in March, with export value surging 42.98% MoM to $27.76M USD and volume up 42.36% to 19.93M kg. The recovery follows a 21.46% contraction in February, though unit prices held steady at $1.39/kg, edging up 0.44% MoM. The volatility aligns with broader trade policy shifts, including new tariffs under the Trump administration, which may have disrupted earlier flows. Colombia’s exports now exceed January’s levels by 12.3% in value, signaling renewed demand.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Colombia's polypropylene polymers exports, accounting for 56.2% of value and 57.2% of weight, indicating a balanced trade structure with no significant value-volume gap—suggesting Brazil serves as a bulk buyer of standardized grades. The remaining markets (Mexico, US Virgin Islands) mirror this pattern, reinforcing a cost-driven supply chain optimized for high-volume, low-margin trade. The absence of premium markets implies Colombia’s exports are commoditized, with limited differentiation in product specifications. Strategic focus remains on scale efficiency over value-added specialization.

Colombia HS Code 3902 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals 3902300000 (propylene copolymers) dominates Colombia's March 2025 exports, capturing 53.5% value share and 52% volume—its twin sub-code 3902100000 (polypropylene) follows closely at 46.5% value, while niche codes barely register. The near-identical volume-to-value ratios for both primary products confirm a bulk-driven market with minimal price differentiation, typical of commodity polymers. This suggests Colombia’s HS Code 3902 exports thrive on standardized, high-volume production rather than premium pricing or specialty grades.
