Geographic Concentration & Market Logic

Guatemala dominates Colombia's refrigerators and freezers exports, accounting for 16.4% of value but 17.2% of weight, indicating a bulk hub role—suggesting cost-efficient logistics for mid-range products rather than premium demand. The value-volume gap is minimal, reinforcing Guatemala’s position as a high-volume, mid-value market. Secondary partners like the Dominican Republic and Argentina show similar patterns, hinting at a regional supply chain optimized for scale over specialization. The absence of premium outliers (e.g., value >> weight) implies Colombia’s exports prioritize accessible pricing over high-margin segments. Strategic takeaway: Volume-driven trade with Central/South America, not premium niches.
