2025 Aug Colombia PVC polymers (HS 3904) Export Snapshot: Volume Dip
August Trend: Colombia PVC polymers Export
PVC polymers, classified under HS Code 3904 (Polymers of vinyl chloride or of other halogenated olefins, in primary forms.), saw unit prices rise 8.85% MoM to $0.98/kg in August, though export value dropped 30.71% to $21.43M USD amid a 36.34% contraction in volume to 21.95M kg. The rebound in pricing failed to offset the sharp decline in shipment volume, marking the lowest monthly weight since February. This follows a 26.18% surge in July, suggesting volatile demand or supply chain disruptions.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
Brazil dominates Colombia's PVC polymers exports, accounting for 83.7% of volume but only 81.2% of value, indicating a slight bulk hub role where Brazil likely processes raw materials at scale. The value-volume gap narrows for secondary markets like the U.S. (6.1% value vs. 4.2% volume), hinting at higher-grade demand. Ecuador stands out with a positive gap (1.5% value vs. 1.1% volume), suggesting niche premium shipments. The structure reveals cost-driven logistics, with Brazil absorbing bulk volumes while smaller markets pay marginally more for specialized specs.

Colombia HS Code 3904 Breakdown & Value Logic
yTrade data reveals 3904102000 (unmixed PVC in primary forms) dominates Colombia's August 2025 exports, capturing 86.8% of value and 90.6% of weight/quantity—a clear bulk-volume play. The remaining sub-codes (e.g., plasticised/non-plasticised PVC) collectively contribute minimal shares, highlighting a market skewed toward low-cost, high-volume raw polymers. This aligns with Colombia HS Code 3904 Export trends favoring standardized production inputs over niche or processed variants. The absence of unit price data suggests competitive pricing drives volume, not premium differentiation. Conclusion: Colombia’s PVC export strategy prioritizes mass-market scalability over value-added specialization.
