Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Colombia's polypropylene polymers exports, accounting for 57.4% of value and 58.4% of weight, indicating a balanced bulk-to-value alignment—suggesting Brazil serves as a high-volume, mid-tier market for standardized grades. Mexico, the second-largest partner, shows a similar ratio (10.2% value vs. 10.0% weight), reinforcing a cost-driven trade flow rather than premium demand. The absence of a significant value-weight gap across top destinations implies Colombia’s exports are commoditized, optimized for scale over specialization. Strategic takeaway: The supply chain prioritizes regional volume efficiency, with limited differentiation for high-margin segments.

Colombia HS Code 3902 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals 3902100000 (polypropylene in primary forms) dominates Colombia's Q1 2025 exports, capturing 52% of volume and 51% of value—far outpacing other sub-codes like 3902300000 (propylene copolymers). The absence of unit price data suggests a volume-driven market, where bulk shipments of standardized polymers outweigh niche or premium variants. This aligns with Colombia's role as a low-cost bulk supplier in the global polypropylene trade, prioritizing scale over specialization. The minimal presence of other sub-codes (e.g., 3902900000 at 0.04% volume) further underscores a market skewed toward commoditized output. Expect stability in this high-volume, low-differentiation export segment.
