Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
Brazil dominates Colombia's polypropylene polymers exports, accounting for 63.9% of volume and 62.0% of value—a near-parity gap indicating a balanced trade of mid-grade products. The absence of a significant value premium suggests Brazil serves as a bulk processing hub rather than a premium market, likely for industrial or packaging applications. Secondary partners like Mexico and the U.S. Virgin Islands mirror this pattern, reinforcing a regional supply chain optimized for cost-efficient bulk transfers. The high frequency of shipments to Brazil (29.2% of total) underscores its role as a stable, high-volume destination. This structure reveals a trade strategy prioritizing scale over specialization, with minimal premium market penetration.

Colombia HS Code 3902 Breakdown & Value Logic
yTrade data reveals 3902100000 (polypropylene in primary forms) dominates Colombia's Q2 2025 exports, capturing 55.93% value share and 57.21% weight/quantity, dwarfing other sub-codes like 3902300000 (42.78% weight). The absence of unit price data suggests a volume-driven market, where Colombia's HS Code 3902 export strategy prioritizes bulk shipments over premium pricing. This aligns with polypropylene's industrial demand—low-cost, high-volume applications trump niche variants. The negligible presence of other sub-codes (e.g., 3902900000 at 0.01% weight) confirms a market anchored in commoditized output, not value-added differentiation.
