Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
Brazil dominates Colombia's PVC polymers exports, accounting for 77.1% of value vs. 81.1% of weight, revealing a bulk hub dynamic where volume outweighs premium pricing—indicating raw material shipments rather than high-grade demand. The U.S. (10.6% value, 6.8% weight) shows a slight premium tilt, suggesting niche finished-product demand. The value-volume gap across most partners points to a cost-driven supply chain, prioritizing mass logistics over high-margin specialization.

Colombia HS Code 3904 Breakdown & Value Logic
yTrade data reveals HS Code 3904102000 dominates Colombia's PVC polymer exports, capturing 68% of shipments and 88% of volume/weight, signaling a bulk-driven market for unmodified poly(vinyl chloride). The absence of unit pricing suggests competition hinges on scale rather than premium differentiation, with secondary codes (e.g., copolymers or mixed PVC) collectively representing niche demand. This reinforces Colombia’s role as a volume player in HS Code 3904 exports, where cost efficiency outweighs product complexity. The minimal presence of high-value variants (e.g., fluoro-polymers) further confirms a low-margin, high-volume trade dynamic.
