2025 Q2 Colombia PVC polymers (HS3904) Export Snapshot: Price Drop
Q2 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 mixed export performance in Q2 2025. After a 43.8% surge in March, both value and volume dropped sharply in April (-25.7% and -24.8% MoM, respectively), followed by a partial rebound in May (+12.6% value, +13.1% weight). June brought renewed declines, with unit prices falling 9.5% MoM to $0.84/kg, dragging export value down 25.1%. The delayed customs overhaul in Colombia may have contributed to the volatility, though data suggests broader price pressures.

Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
Brazil dominates Colombia's PVC polymers exports, accounting for 76.96% of value but 79.65% of weight, revealing a slight bulk hub dynamic where volume slightly outweighs value—typical of raw material flows. The near-parity suggests Brazil serves as a cost-efficient processing or re-export node rather than a premium market. The U.S. and Mexico show higher value-to-weight ratios (5.38% value vs. 3.44% weight; 2.14% value vs. 1.36% weight), hinting at niche demand for higher-grade PVC. The structure leans toward logistics optimization, prioritizing bulk trade with Brazil over value-driven segments. This signals a supply chain built for scale, not specialization.

Colombia HS Code 3904 Breakdown & Value Logic
yTrade data reveals 3904102000 dominates Colombia's PVC polymer exports, capturing 67% of shipments and 92% of volume—a clear bulk-volume play. The absence of unit price data suggests competitiveness hinges on scale, not premium pricing, with secondary codes like 3904101000 and 3904301000 collectively contributing just 15.7% of value. This Colombia HS Code 3904 export profile confirms a market skewed toward low-cost, high-volume primary PVC forms, leaving niche or blended polymers as marginal players.
