2025 Feb Colombia PVC polymers (HS 3904) Export Snapshot: Sharp Decline

February 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 a contraction in Colombia's February exports, with value dropping 24.5% MoM to $25.62M and volume falling 21.7% to 26.96M kg. Unit prices also declined 3.5% to $0.95/kg, reflecting weaker demand or competitive pressures. The downturn follows January's $33.91M export value, though no external trade disruptions were reported.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Brazil dominates Colombia's PVC polymers exports, accounting for 82.9% of value but 86.5% of weight, revealing a slight bulk hub dynamic where volume slightly outpaces value—typical of raw material flows. The U.S. stands out as a premium market (8.8% value share vs. 5.4% weight), signaling demand for higher-grade or processed PVC. Ecuador and Peru follow as secondary bulk destinations, while Venezuela and Colombia itself show logistics loops (re-export or bonded zone activity). The structure prioritizes cost-efficient bulk trade with Brazil, supplemented by niche high-value shipments to the U.S.

Colombia HS Code 3904 Breakdown & Value Logic

yTrade data reveals HS Code 3904102000 dominates Colombia's PVC polymer exports, capturing 74% of shipments and 91% of volume/weight in February 2025—indicating a bulk-driven market for unmodified poly(vinyl chloride). The remaining sub-codes, including lower-volume variants like plasticized or copolymer blends, collectively contribute minimal shares, suggesting price-sensitive demand over specialized formulations. This aligns with Colombia's HS Code 3904 Export profile, where raw material efficiency outweighs premium product differentiation. The absence of unit price data hints at commoditized pricing, reinforcing a volume-over-value strategy. Expect stability in bulk PVC trade unless downstream industries pivot toward niche applications.
